The Denver Nuggets are gearing up for a Wednesday (April 8) game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
While the away team has a loaded injury report, the Nuggets are in decent shape, only listing two players before the action. Both of them (Spencer Jones and Peyton Watson) were expected to miss Wednesday’s action before the report was out.
However, the status of Aaron Gordon was unknown. Gordon left Monday night’s overtime victory over the Portland Trail Blazers with some questions.
