Prior to Wednesday's game against Portland, Nuggets head coach Michael Malone told reporters that the team didn't bring in Austin Rivers just to "hang out" and that the plan was to incorporate him immediately, writes Mike Singer of The Denver Post. Malone delivered on that promise by playing Rivers for 13 minutes in Wednesday's win — the veteran guard scored five points and added three rebounds.
