Axel Toupane will be on a plane Sunday.
He will be either heading to Miami with the Nuggets or returning to his D-League team in Toronto.
The athletic rookie forward has exhausted the first of what could be — if coach Michael Malone and general manager Tim Connelly want to keep him — two 10-day contracts with the Nuggets. Malone said he and Connelly will make decide after Saturday night's home game against Washington.
"Tim and I have had some general conversations," Malone said. "All I'll say to that is Axel has been terrific. I like guys — and it's appropriate for guys on a 10-day contract — to fit in before you try to stand out.
