Emmanuel Mudiay: Set to return Wednesday

Mudiay (ankle) will make his return to action Wednesday night against Minnesota, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Mudiay was back at practice Tuesday, and after making it through shootaround without a hitch, the rookie has been cleared to play Wednesday night. Jameer Nelson is expected to remain the starting point guard in the short term, as the Nuggets will bring Mudiay along slowly in a limited role off the bench. Once he's back up to speed, however, all signs point to Mudiay reclaiming his starting spot. Until then, Mudiay is probably best avoided in daily contests.
