Nuggets' Kenneth Faried: Will play Thursday vs. Pacers
Faried (illness) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Pacers, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
Analysis:
Faried was held out of Wednesday's practice with an illness, but after showing improvement Thursday morning, the Nuggets have cleared him to suit up. With Darrell Arthur (lower leg) ruled out, Wilson Chandler is expected to ascend into the starting five, but Faried could be in line for a mild uptick in minutes while working as the top backup.
