Will Barton

SG, Denver Nuggets

Will Barton's knee soreness will keep him on the sidelines when the Nuggets face the Heat on Saturday.

Barton will be missing this game alongside Gary Harris (knee) and Jamal Murray (left hamstring) is currently questionable. With Barton absent, Michael Porter Jr. figures to receive a prominent role, and if Murray does sit he will be the second option on the offensive end. Barton had played 18 minutes in Monday's scrimmage, but apparently the road to recovery has gotten bumpier since the beginning of the week.
