Yet another member of the Denver Nuggets has been bitten by the injury bug.

Paul Millsap suffered a broken big toe in his right foot during the third quarter of Friday's 113-106 road loss to the Charlotte Hornets, the team announced on Saturday.

Millsap will continue undergoing evaluations, according to the team.

The 33-year-old contributed 16 points on 4-of-8 shooting, three rebounds, an assist, a steal, and a pair of blocks in 19 minutes of action prior to exiting.

Gary Harris (hip), Will Barton (hip), Isaiah Thomas (hip), and rookie Michael Porter Jr. (back) are all currently sidelined due to injury.

Millsap entered the matchup with Charlotte ranking fifth on the team in scoring (13.5 points), second in rebounding (7.1), and first in both steals (1.4) and blocks (1.1).

Even in defeat, the Nuggets maintain the top seed in the Western Conference with a 17-8 record.
