Nuggets' Kenneth Faried: Cleared to play Tuesday vs. Lakers

Faried (hamstring) has been cleared to play Tuesday against the Lakers, Chris Dempsey of The Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Faried never appeared at much risk of sitting out Tuesday, as he was listed as probable on the Nuggets' injury report. With frontcourt mate Nikola Jokic (hip) still out, Faried could be in store for a hefty workload again after logging 37 minutes in Saturday's win over the Suns.
