Christmas Day, Michael Porter Jr.’s return highlight Nuggets’ 2025-26 schedule

It will be a tribute video night on Jan. 29 for the Denver Nuggets.

Michael Porter Jr. will make his return to Ball Arena that night for the first time after a core-altering trade in July. The Nuggets sent Porter to the Brooklyn Nets, along with an unprotected 2032 first-round draft pick, for Cam Johnson. It was the biggest part of an offseason roster shakeup that increased the club’s depth and expectations for the 2025-26 season.

Other highlights of the schedule, which was released in full on Thursday afternoon, include a Christmas night home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
