Denver Nuggets guard Nate Robinson started in the place of the injured Ty Lawson Wednesday, but Robinson didn't get to make the most of the opportunity. He sprained his knee six minutes into the first quarter, and did not return to the game.

The Nuggets announced Thursday that Robinson was diagnosed with a sprained Anterior Cruciate Ligament. Robinson will be re-evaluated Friday to determine a course of treatment.
