Nuggets' Faried active vs. Mavericks

The Denver Nuggets had their starting power forward in uniform Saturday night, as Kenneth Faried was active against the Dallas Mavericks.

The 26-year-old big man missed his team's previous three contests due an ankle injury.

Faried will be able to contribute his 12.5 points, 9.1 boards, and 0.9 blocks through 13 games, as his 6-10 Nuggets look to break their five-game losing streak against the 9-7 Mavs.
