Nuggets' Will Barton enters health and safety protocols Monday

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton has entered the league's health and safety protocols and will not play in Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

What It Means:

Barton entered the protocols Monday and will now miss at least Tuesday's game against the Clippers while he progresses through them. Davon Reed entered the starting five the last time Barton missed time and would be a candidate to do so again this time around.

The longtime Nugget is averaging 16.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per 36 minutes this season.
