Mudiay is not expected to be returning anytime soon, according to head coach Michael Malone, the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Mudiay has missed six consecutive games already, but it seems that stretch won't end for awhile. He describes his injury as a "jammed" right ankle. No clear timetable was given for the rookie's return, so it seems that in his absence, Gary Harris and Jameer Nelson will make up the Nuggets' starting backcourt.
