Nuggets' Emmanuel Mudiay: Questionable for Wednesday

Mudiay (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.

Analysis:

Mudiay has missed the Nuggets' last five games with back spasms, but the team hasn't closed the door on a potential return in the team's final game before the All-Star break. The 20-year-old has put in limited on-court work since suffering from the back issues, but if he's able to take part in the team's morning shootaround Wednesday, his chances of playing will increase. Even if Mudiay is made available Wednesday, he'd likely still serve in a low-minute backup capacity behind starter Jameer Nelson, effectively removing him from consideration in DFS.
