Rudy Fernandez (back) will miss another game on Sunday, his sixth consecutive DNP.
Fernandez's return date continues to get pushed back -- it sounds like he's very close, but fantasy owners should ignore him until he's on the court and producing. And by the time that happens, Danilo Gallinari should be healthy and stealing his minutes.

Rudy Fernandez (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Fernandez has missed five straight games already. With Danilo Gallinari (ankle) seemingly close to a return, Fernandez's upside is going to be capped even once healthy.

Rudy Fernandez (back) "could return this weekend."
Fernandez's timetable has been fluid throughout as he deals with a bad back. He's missed five straight games with the injury, but Fernandez is working his way toward a return in the near future. He's averaging 9.3 points, 1.1 steals and 1.3 treys in 24 minutes per game.

Rudy Fernandez (back) will not play on Wednesday against the Blazers.
Fernandez practiced on Tuesday and was expected to play, so either the Nuggets are being cautious with him or he aggravated the injury during practice. Either way, Fernandez won't play on Wednesday as a result. Corey Brewer, Al Harrington and Andre Miller should all pick up a few extra minutes in his absence.

Rudy Fernandez practiced with the Nuggets on Tuesday and is expected to play on Wednesday against the Blazers.
He's been out with a back injury, but should be ready to go tomorrow night. Whether or not he's worth starting in fantasy leagues is up for debate, but given that he's coming off an injury, he should probably be on benches for now.

Rudy Fernandez (back) did not play on Thursday against the Spurs.
Fernandez reportedly had some chance of playing but it wasn't in the cards tonight. If he can get healthy and Wilson Chandler doesn't land in Denver, then he has a puncher's chance at value off the bench for the Nuggets.

Rudy Fernandez (back) "could" play on Thursday against the Spurs.
We'll have an update soon, but one way or another he'll be coming off the bench behind Arron Afflalo and Corey Brewer. He'll be a risky spot-play due to the time off and rust, but beyond those concerns he has a shot at being productive, if healthy.

Rudy Fernandez (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs.
Fernandez has missed three straight games, thus blowing an opportunity for a minutes boost while Danilo Gallinari (ankle) rehabs.

Rudy Fernandez (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Fernandez has missed the last two games with the injury and may not be ready to return just yet. If he's unable to give it a go, Arron Afflalo and Corey Brewer would both likely see an increase in minutes.

Rudy Fernandez (back) will not play on Monday against the Wolves.
Fernandez's absence gives Arron Afflalo, Corey Brewer, and Andre Miller some breathing room. Given the time of the year, it's possible Fernandez is held out through the All Star break, too.
