Nuggets Face Shorthanded Spurs After Back-to-Back Struggles

The Denver Nuggets are set to take on the San Antonio Spurs, a team heavily reliant on injuries, as they navigate their final back-to-back of the season. An injury report has revealed several key players are listed as questionable, including Nikola Jokić (left ankle impingement), Aaron Gordon (illness and right calf injury), and Jamal Murray (right hamstring inflammation).

Jokić’s absence would be a significant blow to the Nuggets, who have relied on him for 31 triple-doubles this season. His 53-minute performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves was remarkable, but the heavy workload heading into Wednesday’s game is a concern.

Despite their struggles in back-to-back games, the Nuggets have fared well in such situations, boasting an impressive 12-3 record. However, the Spurs’ depleted roster presents an opportunity for Denver to improve this record.

The game is set to take place on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. MT, and fans can tune in on Altitude TV, Altitude+, or Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 FM. Additionally, new and existing customers aged 21 or older in Colorado can participate in the Halftime FanCash Drop by placing a bet if the Nuggets lead at halftime, earning $10 from Fanatics Sportsbook.
