Nuggets' Faried upgraded to questionable vs. Spurs

The Denver Nuggets upgraded power forward Kenneth Faried's status to questionable for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Faried was initially ruled out, but Chris Dempsey of The Denver Post reports that he'll test out his injured ankle in warmups before making a final decision.

The 26-year-old Faried is once again posting robust averages for a frontcout player. He's averaging 12.5 points and 9.1 rebounds per game while shooting 58.8 percent from the floor.

His weakness, however, continues to be his limitations on the defensive end. Opponents are scoring 111.5 points per 100 possessions with Faried on the court compared to 106.7 when he's off.
