Starting on January 5th, the Nuggets can take advantage of a 10-day contract and find some semblance of an NBA center to come in and eat minutes for the team while Nikola Jokic and Jonas Valanciunas are out with injuries. The only fear is that the team is $402,000 over the luxury tax line, and ownership may be loath to spend another penny before solving that issue.
That would be a sad and pathetic excuse for a team that is a true championship contender this season. They have the roster in place on paper, but they’re battling absurdly bad injury luck.
