Jones will start Thursday's game against the Spurs.

Jones will make his first start since Feb. 4, as the Nuggets ask him to fill in for Aaron Gordon (hamstring) Thursday evening. Jones has offered up limited contributions lately and has scored in double figures only once in his last 12 outings (four starts).

Waters (illness) is available for Thursday's game versus the Nuggets, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Waters is back after a one-game absence, so he should see his usual limited minutes off the bench Thursday evening. Waters is averaging 2.1 points per game on 37.9 percent shooting this season.

Konchar (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Konchar will miss his second consecutive game while tending to a left calf issue. His next opportunity to run the floor will arrive Sunday in Sacramento.

Barnes (ankle) will play Thursday night against the Nuggets, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Barnes is ready to make his return after missing five straight games due to a left ankle impingement. He was averaging 6.2 points, 1.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in his previous five matchups before going down with the injury.

White (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

White will take a seat for Thursday's action after picking up a bruised right knee. Payton Pritchard appears in line to make the start at point guard with White out of commission.

Gordon (hamstring) is out for Thursday's game against the Spurs.

Gordon will get the night off after playing in the first leg of Denver's back-to-back Wednesday against Houston. The Nuggets figure to lean more heavily on Spencer Jones and Tim Hardaway in Gordon's absence.

Dosunmu (thumb) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Warriors.

Dosunmu sat out Wednesday's loss to the Clippers, which resulted in more minutes for Terrence Shannon and Kyle Anderson. It'll be more of the same if he's out again Friday.

Wembanyama (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Wembanyama tested out his right ankle injury during warmups, but he's simply not feeling healthy enough to give it a go. Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk are candidates to start in Wembanyama's place.

Markkanen (hip) won't play Friday versus the Trail Blazers.

Markkanen is expected to be re-evaluated soon, but the fact that he's still getting ruled out 24 hours in advance of tipoff suggests he's still not close. Until the Jazz provide a meaningful update on where Markkanen is in his recovery, he should be viewed as week-to-week.

Murray (ankle) will play Thursday against the Spurs.

Murray carried a probable tag leading up to tipoff, and he's since been cleared to play after testing his ankle in pregame warmups. The Kentucky product is averaging 27.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists in his previous five matchups.
