The Denver Nuggets will be severely shorthanded when they travel to face the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, and that might be just what Space City needs to right the ship. At 30-13, the Nuggets are currently third in the Western Conference and have won 7 of their last 10 games.
On Monday, however, Denver’s 107-100 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves came with a price, as backup center Mason Plumlee injured his right foot. It was determined Wednesday morning that he will miss two-to-four weeks due to the unfortunate injury.
Plumlee joins a growing list of injuries to the Nuggets, as Jamal Murray (ankle) will also be out of action, as well as Paul Millsap (knee) and possibly Gary Harris (groin).
