The Denver Nuggets are set to face off against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday, looking to bounce back from their three-game losing streak. The 76ers will be missing several key players, including Joel Embiid and Paul George, due to injuries. However, backup center Andre Drummond’s potential return could prove significant for the 76ers.
Despite their own injury issues, the Nuggets are in a tough spot. Vlatko Čančar, DaRon Holmes II, and Spencer Jones will not be available due to knee and Achilles tendon surgeries and a G League assignment, respectively. The team needs a win to regain momentum after falling to New York despite Jamal Murray’s 33 points.
The 76ers are struggling with an injury-riddled season, currently sitting at 19-27. Denver, on the other hand, boasts a 28-19 record this year, including a 14-11 road record. Tune in to Friday’s matchup at 5:30 p.m. MT on ESPN and Altitude TV.
