Wizards' Ian Mahinmi: Will remain sidelined Thursday

Mahinmi (knee) has been ruled out of Thursday's matchup with the Nuggets, J. Michael of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.

Analysis:

Mahinmi was able to take part in portions of Thursday's morning shootaround, which is a step in the right direction for the Wizards' big man. However, after playing just one game so far this season, he's yet to make a return to full strength, so he'll sit out again and should continue to go through a heavy dose of rehabilitation. His next shot to take the court will be Saturday against the Bucks, but in the meantime, Jason Smith and Andrew Nicholson should get the most minutes off the bench behind Marcin Gortat at center.
