Michael Malone reveals when he’ll name Nuggets’ starting point guard

DENVER — Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said at practice Friday the ongoing point guard competition between Jameer Nelson, Jamal Murray, and Emmanuel Mudiay will continue through Denver’s final two preseason games.

“I’m not ready to name a starter right now,” Malone said on the heels of his team’s 122-104 victory over the Lakers Wednesday. “Obviously, we have until Oct. 18 at Utah (Denver’s regular season opener) to do that so we’ll use these last couple of game against San Antonio and Oklahoma City to figure out who’s going to give us the best chance.
