Kenneth Faried will miss his second straight game Tuesday with a sprained left ankle when his Denver Nuggets take on the Los Angeles Clippers.
The power forward had been listed as doubtful for the contest Monday and spent Tuesday morning in a walking boot while skipping shootaround. It's not great news for a team that's lost three straight.
Darrell Arthur will start again in Faried's place, coming off a 21-point performance in Sunday's loss to the Golden State Warriors - his highest output since February 2011.
Faried is averaging 12.5 points and leads the Nuggets with 9.1 rebounds per game this season.
