Sampson will not return to Monday's matchup with the Cavaliers due to a strained left shoulder, Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson suffered the injury after ten minutes of action. He accumulated two points and one rebound during that time frame. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time, but he will likely be day-to-day going forward. The Nuggets next play Wednesday against the 76ers, so expect an update on his status prior to then.
