Austin Rivers (illness) ruled out for Denver on Saturday

Denver Nuggets guard Austin Rivers will not play Saturday in the team's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

What It Means:

Rivers is dealing with a non-COVID illness, and as a result, he has been ruled out of action. A report came out earlier in the day that he was unlikely to play, so this comes as no surprise.

In 30 games this season, Rivers is averaging 5.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 10.5 FanDuel points.
