Nelson (wrist) will play Thursday against Washington, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

After a six game absence due to a sprained left wrist, Nelson will be active for Thursday's tilt against the Wizards. That said, with that amount of down time between games, Nelson could very well be in line for limited minutes in his first game back since Jan. 15.
