Nuggets' Emmanuel Mudiay: Remains out Friday

Mudiay (ankle) will remain sidelined for Friday's preseason finale against he Mavericks, Harrison Wind of the BSN Denver reports.

Analysis:

This will be Mudiay's third consecutive absence, but the move is unsurprising given his limited participation in Thursday's practice. The Nuggets do not seem worried about his status for opening night however, and are likely exercising caution with their young starting point guard during the preseason.
