More on Emmanuel Mudiay Injury
Emmanuel Mudiay (ankle) practiced Sunday, and is listed as probable for Monday’s game against the Nets. But even though the guard is now healthy enough to make his season debut, it doesn’t mean Fizdale will be ready to put him on the court. “I don’t know how soon I’m gonna do it, but at some point I’m gonna want to take a look at him, and see how he looks,” Fizdale said. “He really helps our pace. I think he’s our best at getting guys the ball where they need it. It’s just a matter of finding the right time to do it.”

Nuggets coach Michael Malone says Mudiay won't have his playing time closely monitored, even more so with Nelson sidelined. Mudiay's backup will be Randy Foye, with Will Barton and Danilo Gallinari possibly handling the ball as well.
Nuggets coach Michael Malone said Emmanuel Mudiay’s recovery from a sprained right ankle is taking longer than expected, and that the rookie is another “week-to-10-days” from returning to action. That timetable is news to Mudiay. “For me?” he said. “Listen man…” Mudiay says his ankle is closer to allowing him to play than that, but “I understand they are trying to keep me safe and all of that.” Asked if he’s 10 days away, Mudiay said “I don’t think so. I think it’s going to get better day by day. I should be alright.”
