Barton (knee) will remain out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Kendra Andrews of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It will be the third straight absence for Barton, who's battled a knee issue for the better part of the last two weeks. The Nuggets haven't said much about his prognosis, and the team appears to be handling him on a game-to-game basis.

Barton (knee) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Both Barton and Gary Harris (hip) will remain out for a second straight game, and there's a chance Jamal Murray (hamstring) could also remained sidelined. As a result, expect Torrey Craig, PJ Dozier, Michael Porter Jr. and Troy Daniels to pick up increased minutes.

Barton (knee) is considered "very questionable" for Monday's game against the Thunder, Kendra Andrews of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
One of three Nuggets regulars to miss Saturday's opener, Barton is still nursing the knee issue that's plagued him through much of the restart. Coach Mike Malone did not sound confident that Barton -- or Gary Harris and Jamal Murray -- would be back in the lineup Monday, but a more definitive update should be available after shootaround.

Barton (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Barton has been nursing right knee soreness, and it's still bothering him enough to prevent him from playing in the seeding game opener. In his stead, with Gary Harris (hip) also out, Torrey Craig should see plenty of action.

Barton (knee) remained limited at Thursday's practice session, Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barton was able to play in the Nuggets' final scrimmage, but it appears he's still nursing some discomfort in his knee. At this point, Barton should be considered day-to-day until further notice. Coach Mike Malone was mostly vague when asked about Barton's status. "He just continues to keep on working on his rehab, getting with our training staff, and trying to integrate him back into the lineup and into the rotation," Malone said.

Barton will not play in Saturday's scrimmage against the Pelicans due to a knee issue, Rachel Nichols of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barton was held out of Friday's practice for an undisclosed reason and it now appears the issue was with his knee. Denver is holding out several key players from Saturday's scrimmage, so it appears they are likely just erring on the side of caution. Still, his status should be monitored heading into Saturday's bubble opener against the Heat.

Barton will not play in Wednesday's scrimmage against Washington, TJ McBride of Mile High Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The reason for the decision is unclear, but the Nuggets will be extremely depleted, as Jamal Murray, Torrey Craig, Gary Harris, and Michael Porter Jr. will also sit out.

Barton scored 23 points (9-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), adding on six rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block during 38 minutes of action Wednesday, as the Nuggets fell to the Mavericks 113-97.
EDGE Analysis
Barton trailed only Jamal Murray (25 points) in Denver's scoring attack, albeit on a night where the team failed to eclipse 100 points for the first time since the end of January. Coincidentally, the end of January was also the last time Barton scored 23 or more points. The performance is overshadowed by a global pandemic, with all future NBA games being postponed as the league seeks to address and protect the basketball world from COVID-19.

Barton chipped in 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-9 3Pt), adding on six rebounds, four steals, two assists and two blocks in 32 minutes Monday during the Nuggets' 109-95 win over Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Barton generated a season-high four steals while stuffing the box score Monday night. In a bizarre referee vendetta against Barton, he was called for carrying the ball on consecutive possessions. Regardless, he has now hit double-digit scoring in six straight games and will find himself in a high-octane contest Tuesday versus the Mavericks.
