Faried (back) will not play in Monday's game against the Kings, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faried was listed as doubtful, so his absence doesn't come as a surprise. Faried has now missed the last four games and was slated to miss seven-to-10 days with back spasms about a week ago, so a return may be coming soon for the power forward. Wilson Chandler will continue to see extended minutes in the frontcourt as a starter in Faried's absence, while Faried should be considered questionable to return Wednesday against the Wizards.
