Tshiebwe has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to an illness.

With Clint Capela (ankle) and Steven Adams (calf) sidelined, Tshiebwe has been able to appear in six straight games, averaging 6.8 minutes a night. With all three backup centers unavailable, Jabari Smith and Tari Eason might play some small-ball five minutes behind Alperen Sengun.
