Nuggets' Jameer Nelson: Out Sunday vs. OKC

Nelson (calf) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Thunder, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.

Analysis:

It will be the fourth absence in five games for Nelson, who continues to work back from a strained calf. The fact that he's been ruled out more than 24 hours in advance is not the most encouraging sign, and with only two games remaining beyond Sunday, it's fair to wonder whether Nelson will be back on the court this season. particularly if the Nuggets fail to make the playoffs. Expect Jamal Murray to make another start in Nelson's place Sunday.
