The Denver Nuggets are preparing for their preseason matchup against the LA Clippers, following a strong victory over the Toronto Raptors. Key players Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Christian Braun led the team in their last game, setting the stage for another exciting showdown. This game, slated for Sunday night, is a rematch of last season’s thrilling playoff encounter.
Injury Report for the Nuggets and Clippers
As the Denver Nuggets gear up for the game, they are optimistic about their lineup. Forward Aaron Gordon, who missed the previous game due to maintenance-related reasons, is expected to return. This development leaves the Nuggets with no reported injuries heading into the game, barring any last-minute decisions for player rest.
On the other hand, the LA Clippers face some uncertainties as they assess the health of their roster. Notable players Bradley Beal and Bogdan Bogdanovic are both listed as questionable. Beal is dealing with a knee issue and missed the Clippers’ preseason opener against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions. Meanwhile, Bogdanovic exited that game early due to lower back soreness.
