WASHINGTON, D.C. – The late John R. Thompson would’ve been proud.
Inside Georgetown’s gleaming athletic facility, the Nuggets spent part of their Tuesday polishing their recent blemishes and refining an outfit that, despite a recent cold stretch, has designs on hoisting a championship trophy.
Nikola Jokic, clad in sweatpants and a workout shirt, honed his interior game on one hoop, while forwards Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon buried dozens of 3-pointers on another. Some of the team’s veterans who’ve fallen out of the rotation stayed sharp playing a full-court game against team staffers on yet another court.
