Nnaji was placed in COVID-19 protocols Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji, Jeff Green and Bones Hyland -- as well as head coach Michael Malone -- all entered protocols Thursday morning, and the Nuggets will conduct further tests to see if any more players are positive for the virus.

Nnaji totaled 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds and one block over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 124-107 loss to the Timberwolves.

This was just the third time Nnaji scored in double digits this season. While he's shown the ability to make an impact when given enough minutes, his role is not consistent enough to warrant a lot of upside on most nights.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji was initially listed as out for Tuesday's contest, so the upgrade to questionable comes as a surprise. He has missed the Nuggets' past four contests, but even when healthy, he has been a fringe rotation option.
