Nuggets' Emmanuel Mudiay: Unlikely to play Monday

Mudiay (back) indicated that he's unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Warriors, Chris Dempsey of The Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Mudiay is being listed as doubtful on the Nuggets' injury report, and though he remains hopeful to return to action before the All-Star break, it looks like he's on track to miss his fifth straight game. Look for Jameer Nelson to take on another 30-plus-minute role as the starting point guard, with Jamal Murray serving as his top backup.
