David Adelman is super proud of how gritty this Nuggets team is and how they're managing to stay in all these games without some of their starters. "This group is just playing their ass off."

How are the Nuggets doing this? They've had injuries across the board. And it totals around $113 million in 2025-26 salary that's sat on the bench for an extended period of time: ๐Ÿš‘ Nikola Jokic: $55.2 million ๐Ÿš‘ Aaron Gordon: $22.8 million ๐Ÿš‘ Cam Johnson: $20.5 million ๐Ÿš‘

The Nuggets just blew out the hottest team in basketball despite being down 3 starters and playing on the second night of a back to back. The ceiling for this team is higher than ever

JOKIC BACK LIKE HE NEVER LEFT ๐Ÿ”ฅ Got a standing ovation from the Denver crowd after scoring 31 PTS in his return from injury ๐Ÿ˜ค

Oh no. The hits keep on coming in the Nuggets injury department. Just get Jokic and Christian Braun back and now Peyton Watson, playing the best ball of his career, pulls his hamstring. Canโ€™t make it up. Itโ€™s been a year from hell on this front.

Feel the worst for Christian Braun and Julian Strawther because they came to play and hit a lot of huge, tough shotsโ€ฆ damn

Julian Strawther over his last 10 games: 11.9 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 1.5 AST on 52/39/82 Been a real positive over this stretch of play, especially as one of the Nuggets better athletes and quicker perimeter guys
