Impact Tyson had missed the previous three games of the series due to a right ankle sprain, though the second-year forward hadn't been part of the Nuggets' postseason rotation anyway.

Won't play Tuesday Tyson (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Thunder.

Rare appearance in Game 3 loss Tyson finished Thursday's 117-83 loss to the Clippers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in five minutes.

Impact Tyson moved into the rotation for just the second time in the past seven games, taking advantage of what was a blowout loss for the Nuggets. Now trailing 2-1 in the series, Denver will be hoping to flip the script when the two teams meet again in Game 4 on Saturday.
