Ty Lawson's status for the Denver Nuggets' Jan. 31 game against the Toronto Raptors is in doubt.

Chris Dempsey of The Denver Post reported that the star point guard has admitted that he's not feeling confident that he'll be at 100 percent:

Dempsey noted that Lawson strained his rotator cuff earlier in the week:

He's already out of the starting five for Wednesday night's matchup with the Charlotte Bobcats. The Nuggets announced that Nate Robinson will start in his place:

Denver will be hoping that Lawson can return sooner rather than later. He leads the team in both scoring (17.9) and assists (8.9). The 26-year-old also boasts the highest PER (20.1) on the team. He makes the offense go, and the fact that the inconsistent Robinson is starting in his place won't reassure many fans.

The Nuggets are 2.5 games out of the eighth spot in the Western Conference, and they have little chance of improving their position the longer Lawson is out.
