Dozier (groin) will miss the entire first round of the playoffs against the Trail Blazers, Brett Siegel of NBA Analysis Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dozier last played May 3, and he'll remain out for the first-round series while recovering from left groin soreness. It's a significant hit for the Nuggets, who were leaning on Dozier in the absence of Jamal Murray. With Dozier still out, Austin Rivers (illness) and Monte Morris should continue seeing extra minutes at guard.

Dozier (groin) remains "a ways out" from a return, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dozier last played May 3 and has since been out due to left groin soreness. It doesn't sound like he'll be available for Game 1 against the Trail Blazers on Saturday.

Dozier (groin) is out Sunday against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Dozier will be sidelined for a seventh straight game Sunday, which marks the Nuggets' final regular-season game. The playoffs start next weekend, so Dozier has some time to recover before the first round.

Dozier (groin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Charlotte, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Denver head coach Michael Malone suggested less than a week ago that Dozier is facing an extended absence, so the 24-year-old appears unlikely to return for the Nuggets' final four regular-season games. With Will Barton (hamstring) also sidelined, Austin Rivers and Shaquille Harrison should continue to hold down regular rotation spots for Denver.

Coach Michael Malone indicated Wednesday that Dozier (groin) is facing an extended absence, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old suffered a right adductor strain Tuesday, and Malone said he doesn't expect the wing to play "any time soon." It's safe to assume Dozier will be sidelined through the end of the regular season, which finishes up May 16 at Portland, and his availability for the playoffs remains uncertain at best.

Dozier has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks with a right adductor strain, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old underwent an MRI on Tuesday after leaving Monday's contest with a hip injury, and he'll miss at least one game with the adductor strain. Dozier's availability beyond Wednesday's contest remains up in the air.

Dozier was scheduled to receive an MRI on his left hip Tuesday, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Nuggets want to get a clearer sense of the severity of Dozier's hip injury after he became the latest member of a growing list of banged-up Denver guards during Monday's loss to the Lakers. The team is viewing Dozier as day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's game against the Knicks, but the fact that he was sent in for the MRI doesn't inspire much confidence that he'll be available for the contest.

Dozier is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Lakers due to hip tightness, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dozier went down in the fourth quarter but was able to make his way to the locker room under his own power. Initial reports indicate that he was able to avoid a significant injury.

Dozier scored 16 points (7-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT) to go along with five rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes in Saturday's win over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Dozier continued to see big minutes with Will Barton (hamstring) and Monte Morris (hamstring) both sidelined again. As a result, Dozier remained in the starting lineup for his fifth straight game and scored in double-digits for the third time in that span. Other than a strong 48.3 field-goal percentage, Dozier hasn't contributed much aside from points, as he's averaged only 3.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.8 blocks since entering the starting lineup.

Dozier totaled 23 points (10-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocked shots across 28 minutes in Saturday's 129-116 win over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Dozier already stood to receive more playing time in the wake of Jamal Murray's (knee) injury, but after Will Barton sustained a possibly severe hamstring injury, he found himself making his first career start. He made the highlight reel right away, with a buzzer-beating dunk after reeling in a hail-mary pass from Nikola Jokic. Dozier should be poised for extensive contributions as the Nuggets make a push for the playoffs.
