Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton (adductor muscle) will miss 5-6 weeks, reports Marc J. Spears of ESPN.
Barton will undergo surgery on Tuesday and will be out until at least the end of November. He suffered the injury in Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Torrey Craig, Juan Hernangomez, and Trey Lyles all stand to benefit with Barton sidelined.
Barton averaged 30.0 FanDuel points in two games, with 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.5 steals, 1.0 blocks, and 2.5 3-pointers in 27.0 minutes.
