SAN DIEGO — After making it through training camp in good health, with the exception of a few bruises, the Nuggets expect to have their full roster available for their preseason opener, coach David Adelman said.
This will be Adelman’s first time managing an NBA roster through the usual series of five preseason exhibitions, which can present an awkward balance between needing reps and wanting to avoid injury. His plan for Saturday (7 p.m. MT) against the Timberwolves? In all likelihood, he’ll let his starters run, at least for a while.
“I think because our schedule, the way it is — playing tomorrow, most likely off with the travel day, playing again, most likely off the next day — you’ll see our guys play,” Adelman said.
