The Denver Nuggets may be on the second night of a back-to-back tonight, but their injury report remains relatively clean against the Utah Jazz - all the key players are available.
The Nuggets only have two players listed on their injury report: Vlatko Cancar and Jay Huff. Vlatko Cancar is out with left knee surgery, and Jay Huff is questionable with a right rib fracture.
The Utah Jazz have six players listed on their injury report: Ochai Agbaji, Josh Christopher, Taylor Hendricks, Johnny Juzang, Micah Potter, and Brice Sensabaugh. Only Agbaji is listed with an actual injury, but he's available despite previously having a right knee contusion. All other players listed are actually in the G League and aren't actually injured.
It's very refreshing to see that the Denver Nuggets are actually playing all of their key players on the second night of a back-to-back. One would have thought Denver would have some rust coming off of a championship year, but the exact opposite has happened. The team looks just as good as it did last season, and their younger players are successfully stepping into the roles that they were assigned to do. It's only been three games, but the Denver Nuggets have been absolutely dominating.
The Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz face off tonight at 9:00 p.m. EST at the Ball Arena.
