Injuries

Sacramento Kings

The injury report looks similar to last night with one addition.  Both Rudy Gay and Malachi Richardson are still out, but added to the injury report is Garrett Temple.  Temple is listed as questionable because it is a back-to-back, according to Basketball Monster.  More information should be available in advance of tonight’s tipoff.

Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets have just one player on their injury report.  Kenneth Faried is listed as questionable with lower back spasms.  Faried has missed Denver’s last six games and there have little updates on his condition.  Hopefully, tonight he suits up or at least the Nuggets give an update on his status.

Stay Alert

Be sure to check twitter or watch the pregame show to get the news on Temple and Faried.  It is worth mentioning both teams may rest some players for the second of a back-to-back.  They are both relatively young teams that should be able to handle it, but make sure before things get underway tonight.
