Nuggets' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Ruled out Saturday

Caldwell-Pope (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Lakers, head coach Michael Malone told Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports.

Malone said Caldwell-Pope would miss Saturday's game due to personal reasons, and while he didn't get into further details, he said he hoped his absence wouldn't be an extended one. Caldwell-Pope's next chance to play will come against the Suns on Tuesday, and in the meantime, Christian Braun could be in line to see more minutes. The same can be said for Justin Holiday and even Julian Strawther.
