Chris Humphreys-USA TODAY Sports
The Denver Nuggets will be without their starting power forward Thursday when they face the Toronto Raptors at Air Canada Centre.
Kenneth Faried has been ruled out with an ankle injury, according to Nuggets play-by-play man Jason Kosmicki. He was seen limping after last night's game in Chicago.
