“Jonathan pretty much runs the farm. He’s kind of the brain on it.” The making of Nuggets co-general manager Jon Wallace, one of the most interesting executives in the NBA, for @DenverPost. Merry Christmas! denverpost.com/2025/12/25/nug…

Peyton Watson remains out tomorrow vs. Toronto for Nuggets.

This is so misguided from Pope that it's not even funny, it's moronic. This isn't just some unnamed report from a questionable media member. Yaxel Lendeborg literally said himself to the AP that he was offered 7-9M. What are you even talking about, dude?

Just last night, Nikola Jokic and David Adelman both insisted they feel like the Nuggets have been playing well recently even without consistent wins to show for it. Do you buy what they’re saying? Was tonight just disastrous scheduling? Or something seriously wrong with Denver?

Nikola Jokic matched a career-high with 10 turnovers, and the Nuggets lost their rescheduled game in Memphis, 125-118. They’re 42-28. When an opposing organization is trying to lose, you should probably oblige them.

Christian Braun looks a little uncomfortable moving after diving after a loose ball moments ago.

Nikola Jokic is 2 assists and 1 turnover away from a quadruple-double going into the fourth quarter. He’s been sloppy all night, and the Nuggets are down 99-91, in danger of a loss they can’t afford in Memphis.

Cam Johnson has been frustrated with his whistle around the rim all season. A couple of months ago he told me a technical foul might be in his future. I asked how many techs he had in his career. He had three. Now four.

Cam Johnson has scored or assisted on Nuggets’ last 10 points since they fell behind by 10 early in the second half. They’re back within two now after he intercepts a pass, leads the break, finds Braun for a transition layup.

Not the Nuggets’ (especially Nikola Jokic’s) sharpest half after getting into Memphis in the wee hours last night, but they’re tied at 60 with the Grizzlies.

Cam Johnson and Spencer Jones both have three first-half fouls on a night Aaron Gordon is already out.

Christian Braun has 11 points in the first nine minutes in Memphis after he was the game’s only 20-point scorer last night vs. Philly.

Ty Jerome looks ready to thwart both teams’ plans tonight.

Nuggets’ opening day starting lineup has played in 5 games together since Aaron Gordon’s most recent return from hamstring injury. Sample size limited by blowouts, Murray’s ankle injury vs NYK, Gordon’s minute restriction. But in 61 minutes so far, the unit has a 32.7 net rating.

Went on to note "the frustration and the pure disappointment of when he got hurt in Milwaukee is still in the back of my mind. And that's what we're trying to do here, get him to the finish line. ... He's so impactful. It's amazing. The way he creates spacing, floods to the rim."

David Adelman on Aaron Gordon's status for tomorrow at Memphis: "If my vote was the only vote........... (whispers) he'd play."

The Nuggets beat the 76ers 124-96. The roles were reversed on the injury reports, but the result was the same; Denver sweeps the season series. They’re 42-27, tied for fifth in the West. They play a rescheduled game tomorrow night in Memphis.

Nuggets have 20 points off 8 Nikola Jokic assists in the first nine minutes against the short-handed Sixers.
