Coach Malone pregame spoke about Jamal Murray’s shin splint situation and said it is going to be something the Nuggets have to manage down the stretch. Constant communication. Talked about limiting his load as much as possible – like his participation in shootarounds & practice. – 9:49 PM

Chauncey Billups says Scoot Henderson’s adductor injury is something that’s been lingering and he tweaked it in Rising Stars. They don’t think it’s anything to worry about as of now.
Kris Murray will start instead of him tonight. – 8:19 PM

“He needs to wait a couple of years and trade himself so he can get (a triple-double) against the Nuggets. Just kidding,” Reggie Jackson told DNVR.
“It never feels like he’s chasing it.”
Nikola Jokic is playing pretty much perfect basketball.
