Nuggets' guard Sonny Weems and center Cheikh Samb could be on their to the D-League later next week, the Denver Post is reporting.

"It's kind of a three-way decision (with management, the coaches and the player/agent)," Karl said. "We can send them down, but I think we want to send them down in harmony ? that they understand that this is what we think is good for them."

Weems, who had a groin injury to start the season, has "participated fully," Karl said, "but with the schedule, we haven't had a lot of up-and-down practices ? mostly half-court."
