DENVER (AP) -- Denver Nuggets coach George Karl will miss Wednesday's game at Minnesota as he undergoes another round of cancer treatment.
Karl, who has neck and throat cancer, was scheduled for a surgical procedure Monday to have a feeding tube inserted into his stomach. He will also go through another chemotherapy session Tuesday.
Karl was diagnosed last month with cancer and is undergoing a rigorous six-week treatment program of radiation and chemotherapy.
He hopes to be back on the sideline Friday when the Nuggets travel to New Orleans.
