Nurkic will come off the bench Wednesday against the Sixers, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

The Nuggets haven't released any information regarding Nurkic's status, but the starting lineup lists Kenneth Faried as the starting center, so it appears Nurkic will come off the bench after starting and playing 25 minutes Sunday. With Darrell Arthur out, Nurkic could see a reasonably high minutes load, likely in the 25-to-30 minute range.
