Nnaji totaled six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two assists in 13 minutes during Monday's 116-111 victory over the 76ers.
Nnaji exceeded 10 minutes for the fourth straight game, although once again failed to offer much in terms of fantasy value. Across those four games, he has scored a total of just 17 points, which is certainly nothing to write home about. Managers need not waste their time even considering him, outside of the deepest of leagues.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Returns from 17-game absence
Rotowire
Nnaji (shoulder) recorded four points (2-2 FG), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 12 minutes during Sunday's 108-102 victory over the Nets.
Sunday marked Nnaji's first action since Feb. 5, when he sustained a sprained shoulder. The Arizona product was eased back into the rotation and should be set for a slight uptick in minutes down the stretch as one of Denver's few trusted reserve big men behind Nikola Jokic. With Nnaji back in the mix, Thomas Bryant didn't leave the bench Sunday in a coach's decision.

Rotowire

Nnaji will make his first appearance since Feb. 5 after dealing with a sprained right shoulder. Considering the lengthy absence, he will likely face a minutes restriction for the contest. Although it's unclear how much he will play, he could swipe some minutes away from Jeff Green, Vlatko Cancar and Thomas Bryant.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Expected to play Saturday
Rotowire
Nnaji (shoulder) is in line to play Saturday against the Knicks, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
Nnaji has been sidelined since Feb. 5 with a sprained right shoulder but will be available to make a return to the hardwood. Nnaji saw at least 20 minutes of playing time in six of his last nine games leading up to the injury but will likely be under a heavy minutes restriction given the month-long absence. Regardless, his return could mean fewer minutes for Jeff Green, Vlatko Cancar and Thomas Bryant.

Nnaji hasn't played since Feb. 5 due to a right shoulder sprain. Saturday's game coincides with his re-evaluation timetable, but the Nuggets have yet to provide any information about his status.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: To be re-evaluated in two weeks
Rotowire
Nnaji (shoulder) is expected to be re-evaluated in two weeks, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
Nnaji has missed the Nuggets' previous ten games due to a right shoulder sprain. A re-evaluation in two weeks indicates a return in late March at best, as he will likely take some time to ramp things up before returning to the court. Given the Nuggets' No. 1 status in the Western Conference, they will presumably not rush him back into things.

Initially deemed doubtful for the contest, this was the expected outcome for the third-year big man.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Heads back to bench
Rotowire
Nnaji will appear off the bench Saturday versus the 76ers.
Nnaji claimed his third start in four games with Nikola Jokic out Wednesday, but he'll move back to the bench Saturday with Jokic set to reclaim his starting spot. Nnaji should see a slight decline in his minutes as a result, though he's off the radar in most fantasy formats regardless.
