Lawson was injured in the Nuggets’ 126-109 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night. Originally called a left lower-back strain, a postgame X-ray revealed the break.
“You could see it take the wind out of us when Ty came out of the game,” Denver coach Brian Shaw said. “He’s our floor leader and he’s the one who controls the pace and the tempo of the game. He’s also the best guy we have to stay in front of (Brandon) Jennings.”
