Will Barton (foot) out for Denver on Tuesday, doubtful for Wednesday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward (foot) has been ruled out against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday, and he is doubtful for Wednesday's meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

What It Means:

The Nuggets have already ruled out Danilo Gallinari, Kenneth Faried and Jameer Nelson for their last two games. Out of playoff contention and focused on getting their young players some more run, they don't want to take any risks with their injured players.

Barton has averaged 13.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 28.4 minutes per game this season. He ranks only 263rd in the NBA with a -0.6 nERD.
