Nuggets' Gallinari ruled out for Wednesday

Danilo Gallinari is dealing with a right thigh injury and has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz.

Analysis:

It's unclear exactly when Gallinari may have suffered the injury, but after feeling some lingering discomfort early in the day Wednesday, he'll be held out to avoid any sort of further aggravation. With Gallinari out, look for Wilson Chandler to move into the starting lineup and see extended minutes in his absence. Chandler has been particularly effective of late, averaging 21.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 32.0 minutes over the Nuggets' last four games. Gallinari's next opportunity to see the court will be Friday against the Thunder.
