Impact Nnaji has missed 11 of the team's past 12 contests due to a lingering knee issue. However, he was listed as probable ahead of Saturday's matchup with Toronto, so he appears close to making his return to the rotation.

Could play vs. Raptors Nnaji (knees) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Nnaji made his return Wednesday against the Kings but sat out the second half of the back-to-back Thursday against the Warriors. He saw 20 minutes in his return, however, so he may not have a real minutes limit if cleared Saturday.

MARCH 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out Thursday Nnaji (knees) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Nnaji returned from an extended absence and played 20 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Kings, but he'll miss the second half of the Nuggets' back-to-back set due to knee soreness. Depending on his health, his next chance to return will come Saturday against the Raptors.

MARCH 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Listed questionable Nnaji (knees) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports reports.

Impact Nnaji made his return from a multi-week absence Wednesday night against the Kings, seeing 20 minutes of action and finishing scoreless (0-1 FG) with four steals and one rebound. It's very possible the Nuggets could opt to hold him out on the second night of a back-to-back.

MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back in rotation Wednesday Nnaji (knees) logged 20 minutes off the bench Wednesday in the Nuggets' 106-100 win over the Kings, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG), four steals and one rebound.

Impact Before entering Wednesday's contest, Nnaji hadn't played since Feb. 11 due to bilateral knee soreness, though he had been cleared ahead of both of the Nuggets' previous two contests. With Jeff Green (personal) sitting out Wednesday, Nnaji finally received the chance to re-enter the rotation, but aside from the excellent steal total, he did little else during his time on the court to distinguish himself. Following the recent birth of his child, Green may remain away from the team for Thursday's game against the Warriors, but Nnaji's run in the rotation may come to an end soon thereafter.

MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available Wednesday Nnaji (knees) is available for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Impact Nnaji was cleared to return from a nine-game absence ahead of Monday's win over the Warriors, but he didn't receive any minutes. That could change Wednesday, especially with Jeff Green sidelined due to personal reasons. In 39 games this season, Nnaji has averaged 6.8 points and 3.7 rebounds over 16.7 minutes per game.

MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Probable at Sacramento Nnaji (knees) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Kings, freelance writer T.J. McBride reports.

Impact Nnaji was cleared for Monday's game against the Warriors but didn't end up seeing the floor. He's been dealing with soreness in both his knees, so it's possible he'll be ramped up into his usual workload.
