Nuggets' Will Barton: Goes through shootaround Sunday
Barton (ankle) was a participant in Sunday's morning shootaround, but remains a game-time decision later in the evening against the Jazz, Chris Dempsey of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis:
Barton has missed nine straight games due to a lingering left ankle sprain, but his availability during Sunday's shootaround bodes well for his status. That said, the team may opt to play it safe with Barton and keep him sidelined for further recovery, so stay tuned for further updates. He'll likely go through pregame warmups before having a final decision is made on his availability just prior to tip off.
