Nuggets' Foye sick, Fournier will starts Sunday vs. Suns

The Denver Nuggets will be without starting shooting guard Randy Foye when they take on the Phoenix Suns on Sunday.

Foye is reportedly feeling under the weather and Evan Fournier will take his spot in the starting lineup.

This will be the first game Foye has missed since the 2011-12 season and just his second over the past three years. In 39 games this season, Foye is averaging 10.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists. While he's shot just 40.9 percent overall, most of his attempts are from long range - where he shoots 37.6 percent - leaving him with an above-average true shooting percentage of 55.3 percent.

Fournier, meanwhile, is averaging 5.8 points in 14 minutes as a sophomore. He can also stroke the triple, hitting at a 39.1 percent clip from downtown.
