Nelson (wrist) was held out of Wednesday's 103-92 win over the Pistons.

Analysis:

As the Nuggets first suggested when Nelson first suffered the setback with the sprained left wrist earlier this month, the point guard will be sidelined through the All-Star break with the hope that it helps resolve the issue. Nelson will need to demonstrate that he's healthy in practices before the Nuggets feel comfortable inserting him back into his usual role as the backup to starting point guard Emmanuel Mudiay.
