Not great news on the injury front for the Denver Nuggets as Will Barton exited the game against the New Orleans Pelicans early on Sunday night after suffering a left ankle sprain. Barton sprained his ankle at the 9:26 mark of the fourth quarter after suffering a tough foul on a drive to the basket.
Barton shot two free-shows after drawing the foul, but quickly had to foul a Pelicans player to get subbed out of the game. Before exiting the game, Barton scored nine points on 3-of-7 shooting from the field, 2-of-5 from three to go along with four rebounds and three assists.
