Denver Nuggets Find Amazing Way to Deal with Glut of Injuries
Rarely has any NBA team had to endure the kind of flood of key injuries that the Denver Nuggets are in the middle of dealing with right now.
When they tipped off the sixth game of a seven-game eastern road trip against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, the Nuggets were missing their entire starting five, plus their leading scorer off the bench (Tim Hardaway Jr.) and their only backup center (Jonas Valančiūnas.)
But this is sports…and somehow, some way…the skeleton crew the Nuggets rolled out on the floor defeated the 76ers 125-124 in overtime. Really.
Nuggets head coach David Adelman had nine healthy players available against the Sixers, and used all of them, including two-way player Curtis Jones. Zeke Nnaji, the subject of every trade rumor being thrown around, had a career high 21 points, backup point guard Jalen Pickett had 29 – including seven three pointers – and Peyton Watson had 24 and seven rebounds.
