Paul Millsap will be missing in action until 2019.
According to The Athletic, the Nuggets forward is expected to be sidelined four to six weeks with a broken big toe in his right foot.
Nuggets guard Monte Morris told reporters after Friday's loss to the Hornets that Millsap had the broken toe, but the team was still determining a timetable for his return.
The loss of Millsap is just the latest blow for Denver. Michael Porter Jr., Isaiah Thomas, Will Barton and Gary Harris are dealing with or have dealt with injuries this season. To bolster the battered roster, the Nuggets signed veteran guard Nick Young to an undisclosed deal on Monday.
Millsap, 33, is averaging 13.6 points and 7.0 rebounds in 25 games this season while shooting a career-high 40.0 percent from 3-point range.
The four-time All-Star ranks fifth on the Nuggets in scoring and second in rebounding.
