Nnaji provided no counting stats over three minutes during Wednesday's 110-99 win over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji has seen the floor in the last three games but has logged 16 minutes over five games on the year. He could slide into a larger role should injuries arise in the Nuggets' frontcourt, but he can largely be disregarded for fantasy purposes at this juncture.

Nnaji recorded 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds over 17 minutes Monday in a preseason loss to Oklahoma City.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji led Denver in scoring in the loss and tied for the team lead in rebounds. He appeared to be healthy after playing in only two of Denver's final 27 regular-season contests during the previous campaign due to knee issues. Nnaji showed some promise when on the court during his sophomore season, and he could carve out decent minutes as a reserve if he plays well early on.

Nnaji's fourth-year option was picked up by the Nuggets on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 2020 first-round pick is sticking with Denver for at least one more season after the team agreed to exercise his fourth-year option. The 21-year-old forward averaged 6.6 points and 3.6 rebounds while shooting 46.3 percent from behind the arc during his second year last season. Nnaji figures to compete with Jeff Green, Christian Braun and Vlatko Cancar for reserve forward minutes during the upcoming season.

Nnaji (knees) played 26 minutes in Sunday's 146-141 overtime loss to the Lakers, finishing with five points (1-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and two assists.

EDGE Analysis

Suiting up for the first time since March 9 and for only the second time since the All-Star break, Nnaji was expected to have a minute restriction in his return from a right foot surgery, but any playing-time limit wasn't evident in his workload during the regular-season finale. Nnaji was far from productive during his time on the court, however, and he could find himself on the outside of head coach Michael Malone's rotation when the Nuggets begin their first-round playoff series against the Warriors on Saturday.

Nnaji will be available for Sunday's game against the Lakers, but he'll face a minutes restriction, Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji has played in only one game since mid-February, so it's a great sign that he'll be able to get back on the floor before the start of the playoffs. However, he'll likely see fairly limited action Sunday, as the Nuggets will be careful not to overextend his workload given how much time he's missed.

Nnaji (knee) is trending toward playing in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Lakers, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji has been dealing with sore knees for a while, and he's appeared in just one of the past 26 games. However, the hope is presumably for him to get one game in before the playoffs.

Nnaji (knee) remains out indefinitely.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji has been battling a knee issue since before the All-Star break, and he's only appeared in one game since Feb. 11. At this point, it's fairly unlikely that he comes back before the postseason.

Nnaji (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Pacers.
