Nuggets' surprising breakout player is currently ineligible for NBA Playoffs
Denver Nuggets v Phoenix Suns | Chris Coduto/GettyImagesA two-way player breaking out is one of the best surprises an NBA team can experience. That is, until everyone remembers that two-way players are ineligible for the NBA playoffs. That's the current situation with Denver Nuggets forward Spencer Jones — but there's no reason to worry for Nugs fans.
Spencer Jones is quickly becoming that breakout player for the Denver Nuggets. He's had two straight career nights, scoring 18 and then 26 points while filling in for Aaron Gordon in the starting lineup. As long as he remains on a two-way contract, Jones will not be eligible for the NBA Playoffs, which the Nuggets will surely participate in.
