All 5 starters out for exhausted Nuggets against Spurs following double-0T heartbreaker
DENVER (AP) - Denver coach Michael Malone declared all five of his starters out for the exhausted Nuggets’ game against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.
Denver’s 140-139 double-overtime home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night played a role in Malone resting his stars.
Nikola Jokic scored a career-best 61 points against Minnesota and Malone said he informed his star after that heartbreaking loss that he’d be sitting out against the Spurs less than 24 hours later.
Jokic, who has been dealing with elbow and ankle injuries, and Christian Braun, who’s been dealing with a sore foot, both logged 53 minutes against the Wolves.
