Nuggets starting forward Dahntay Jones was knocked out of Tuesday night’s game against Sacramento when he suffered an injury in pregame warm-ups.
Jones was hurt in a collision, suffering a first-degree right shoulder separation, the most mild kind. X-rays were negative for a clavicle fracture.
A Nuggets spokesperson anticipated Jones might be able to play Sunday against Utah. The Nuggets will go four straight days without a game, their longest stretch of the season excluding the All-Star break.
With Jones out, Renaldo Balkman got the start for the Nuggets.
