Nuggets guard Nate Robinson diagnosed with sprained ACL

Denver Nuggets guard Nate Robinson has been ruled out of Friday’s game against the Toronto Raptors after an MRI Thursday revealed a sprained anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

Robinson, averaging 10.4 points and 2.5 assists in 44 games this season, will be evaluated again Friday to determine a course of treatment.

Robinson was injured midway through the first quarter of Denver’s game against the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday.
