Joel Embiid misses practice with illness but Team USA coach Steve Kerr hopeful he’ll have entire team for Olympic opener against Serbia tomorrow. Including Kevin Durant, who practiced for third straight day:
ESPN Sources: The Denver Nuggets’ Michael Malone — who led the franchise to the 2023 NBA championship — has agreed on a contract extension that’ll make him one of the league’s highest paid coaches.
Dear Referees,
Nikola's arms are not naturally filled with scratches and red marks. Please consider this when he is getting hacked under the basket over and over. We'd appreciate it!
Thanks,
Nuggets Nation
Ty Lue said Bones Hyland will likely remain out of the rotation going forward while they take a longer look at the rotation they used today.
Lue said it’s unfortunate because Bones had been playing well, but they wanted to stay away from that extra small bench group.
We believe in Nikola Jokić, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr. bringing a title to Denver, and there’s no reason to change that opinion now. Not for anyone.
This site was founded because the Nuggets were getting swept in embarrassing fashion by the Lakers. Now 16 years later the Nuggets are on the verge of back to back sweeps of the Lakers. What a crazy ride. So happy to be sharing in this moment with all of you.
The average age of the Denver Nuggets' roster is 25.3, they have the most total games missed due to injury in the league, and they are in sole possession of first place in the Western Conference.
Merry Christmas.
Hey
@NBA
we forgive you for underrating the Nuggets all season, but to make up for it, we ask that you update your logo to include the greatest player in NBA history.
Nikola Jokic
41 minutes

A top 10 NBA player and MVP candidate who's routinely done this all season has translated his performance to the playoffs. Unthinkable.
Huge thank you to Portland fans for coming out tonight. Great atmosphere. As a token of our appreciation, we got you this commemorative "L".
Feel free to take it with you on the way out.
They talk about Heat culture, but I think the Nuggets culture is pretty special as well
Former Nugget

We, the Denver Stiffs, and our buddy,
@getnickwright
, would like to congratulate Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets for pretending to advance to the 2nd round.
On opposing fans in Ball Arena: "You're either with us or against us...as long as their fans go home disappointed that's all I care about so the Warrior fans can come in here, Celtics fans can come in here, Lakers fans come in here, but take that L on the way out" - 11/27/18
Lakers fans: Laaaaakers gonna win a ring with LeBron and AD
Clippers fans: No way, we got Kawhi and PG13
Bucks fans: Aren’t you forgetting our league MVP
Rockets fans: Actually, that’s not correct if you look at strength of schedule
Nuggets fans:
Jokic is 28 years old
Aaron Gordon is 28 years old
Jamal Murray is 26 years old
MPJ is 25 years old
Christian Braun is 22 years old
Julian Strawther is 21 years old
Beginning of an era.

LeBron is 38 years old
Chris Paul is 38 years old
Steph is 35 years old
KD is 35 years old
Harden is 34 years old
Westbrook is 34 years old
Jimmy is 34 years old
Era coming to a close.
If it all ends on Sunday, how will you remember this season?
I'll remember the cultural momentum, seeing jerseys out on the streets again, hearing people talk about the team in passing. I'll remember this as the season when Nuggets basketball became fun again.
One of the most underrated Nuggets of all time: Nene. The 7th overall pick in 2002 was one of the strongest men in the league, a beast down low and an all around good guy. He held down the post during the Melo era and is 7th all time for the franchise in win shares.
If the Nuggets win tomorrow night we will give one person who RTs this a chunk of land in Colorado that will be 100% tax free when we successfully secede from the United States of America.
We’re building a real fraud city. Get in on the ground level.
