The Denver Nuggets fell short of a win at home against the Los Angeles Lakers, losing 107-115 in a night that turned out to be a memorable one for the one and only Luka Doncic.
Denver Nuggets superstar center was named as an All-Star starter for the sixth consecutive year, and now fans are eagerly waiting to see if star guard Jamal Murray will be joining him on Team World on February 15th.
The Los Angeles Lakers took down the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night, but one big factor was missing: three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic. The Serbian superstar missed his 12th consecutive game on Tuesday night due to a knee injury, and his absence was certainly felt.
In a thrilling January 20th matchup at Ball Arena, the Los Angeles Lakers overcame a 16-point second-half deficit to defeat the Denver Nuggets 115–107, powered by a breathtaking performance from Luka Dončić.
The Denver Nuggets played their 12th straight game without Nikola Jokic on Tuesday, falling to the Los Angeles Lakers, 115-107, at Ball Arena. The Nuggets failed to hold on to their halftime lead, as the Lakers rallied in the second half to capture the win.
Most NBA players, no matter how successful, are out of the league before the end of their 30s, or even their 20s. That leaves a lot of life left to live, and a good handful of players have made the most of their professional lives after leaving the court.
It was the best of games, it was the worst of games. It was peak Murray, it was no Murray. It was good Watson, it was bad Watson. It was Spencer Jones’ highlight reel, it was Drew Timme’s highlight reel.
The Denver Nuggets have seen some career-best play out of veteran guard Jamal Murray through the first half of this NBA season, so much so that he could be en route to a first-time All-Star selection to join Nikola Jokic as the first pair of Nuggets to be named an All-Star in a single season since 2009-10.
It's looking like the Denver Nuggets will have some health on their side in their home matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, but particularly when it comes to star guard Jamal Murray, who's trending towards playing after being listed questionable leading up to tip-off.
One of the biggest question marks of the Nuggets’ offseason was how to handle Peyton Watson. Throughout his young career, the wing has been the root of a lot of drama—though not in the traditional sense.
It's looking increasingly likely that Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon will be missing out on a unique contract incentive held by less than ten players around the NBA in their respective deals.
The Denver Nuggets have been surprisingly successful since three-time MVP Nikola Jokic went down with a left knee hyperextension. In 11 games since the injury, the Nuggets are 7-4, with some of those wins even being without star guard Jamal Murray as well.
Jamal Murray scored seven of his game-high 42 points in the final 2:12, and the host Denver Nuggets rallied to beat the Washington Wizards 121-115 on Saturday night.
