Kenneth Faried

Kenneth Faried (ankle) doubtful Thursday for Denver's matchup with Kings

Denver Nuggets forward/center Kenneth Faried (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday night against the Sacramento Kings.

What It Means:

Faried last played on February 8 due to his injured ankle, but he was able to get through limited work on Tuesday, suggesting he's nearing a return. Juan Hernangomez figures to benefit the most if Faried can't play.

Faried is averaging 9.9 points, 8.0 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks per game this season. His 3.4 nERD is second on the Nuggets and ranks 47th in the NBA.
