Faried (thumb) will play in Friday's game against the Jazz, the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Faried missed Wednesday's game against the Suns with a thumb injury but it apparently feels well enough to take the court Friday. He's averaging 19 minutes on the hardwood over his last three games and will likely see around that same total when he faces the Jazz.
