Nuggets' Faried out vs. Spurs with ankle injury

Denver Nuggets fans breathed a sigh of relief when Kenneth Faried returned to Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets after leaving with an ankle injury, but the big man still isn't 100 percent right.

Faried's ankle will keep him out of Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Earlier this week, Faried was forced to miss two games because of a back strain.

This latest setback adds to an already disappointing start to the season for the Nuggets power forward, who has averaged 11.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists through 21 games.
