Nuggets’ Monte Morris improving amid leg injury: “I’ve definitely been playing through stuff”
Monte Morris (11) of the Denver Nuggets drives on T.J. McConnell (9) of the Indiana Pacers during the second quarter on Wednesday, Nov. 10, 2021.The Nuggets’ infirmary report got slightly rosier on Wednesday.
Monte Morris, who’s been dealing with — and playing through — a nagging leg injury for a couple weeks, stayed after practice to get some extra shots up.
“Today was the first time I was able to do (player development) probably since the second Memphis game (on Nov. 3), so I haven’t even been able to do that,” Morris said. “I’ve been getting treatment and just playing in games. I’m starting to feel better. Been able to play without pain and stuff like that.”
