Dennis Rodman cut short a scheduled workout with the Denver Nuggets because of an ingrown toenail, the Denver Post reported Wednesday.

Rodman, who won NBA titles with the Pistons and Bulls, played one game of full-court basketball before leaving Tuesday, saying he was going to a local hospital to get an ingrown toenail removed, the newspaper reported.

"(Rodman) wanted to come in and see where he was," Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe said, the Post reported. "He's thinking about playing again. He asked if he could come in and work out with the guys. He didn't work out much. It was more informal."

Vandeweghe said Rodman's agent, Darren Prince, had been trying to talk Rodman into working out with the Nuggets for more than a year, the newspaper reported.

Vandeweghe said he couldn't tell from the short workout how good Rodman was, and he invited the forward to return when he was healthy, the Post reported.

Rodman, 43, hasn't played in the NBA since the 1999-2000 season.
