Kenneth Faried will not play for the Nuggets for at least a week after a bout of back spasms.
Faried, a star forward who left Friday's game vs. the Nets in the third quarter and then did not play Sunday vs. The Grizzlies, is getting treatment for his back at home in Denver.
"Hopefully we'll get him back as soon as possible, whenever that is," coach Michael Malone said Tuesday.
