Gallinari (knee) said Thursday that he expects to miss the Nuggets' next couple of games, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Gallinari is experiencing soreness in his knee but indicated that the issue is not something he believes will hamper him long term. In an attempt to nip it in the bud, Gallinari will likely sit out the next few games until the discomfort subsides. Wilson Chandler and Alonzo Gee should soak up Gallinari's minutes in the meantime.
