Nuggets Insider: Difficult post-All-Star break schedule offers few breaks for Denver
Rick Bowmer, The Associated Press Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (27) drives around Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell, right, in the first half during an NBA basketball game Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2020, in Salt Lake City. All-Star weekend is over, and the NBA’s regular-season stretch run is here.
And if the Nuggets are to maintain their No. 2 spot in the Western Conference, they’re going to have to earn it.
Error 0:
It’s not so much that Denver hobbled into the all-star break with numerous injuries. Or that the franchise declined to add another big piece at the trade deadline (unless you count Keita Bates-Diop, Jordan McRae or Noah Vonleh).
