Nuggets' Kenneth Faried: Out Wednesday vs. Timberwolves

Faried (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.

Analysis:

As anticipated, the Nuggets will hold Faried out through the All-Star break, affording him an extra week to recover from the sprained right ankle. Along with Faried, Danilo Gallinari (groin) and Darrell Arthur (knee) have also been ruled out of the contest, which could leave the team a bit thin in the frontcourt. If Wilson Chandler (illness) joins those three players on the sideline Wednesday, Juan Hernangomez would likely pick up his second straight start at power forward and take on a large workload after scoring 27 points and adding 10 boards in 43 minutes during Monday's win over the Warriors.
