You have to hand it to Nuggets analyst Scott Hastings: He’s not going to wait around for an injury report when he can make the scoop right there.
During Wednesday night’s pregame show for the Nuggets’ game against the Pacers, Altitude TV studio host Katy Winge noticed that Denver’s JaMychal Green was warming up with the rest of the team. Green was listed as questionable for the game with a wrist injury, so Winge was spot on to notice Green in the background and ask if Hastings had any update on the forward’s status.
While Hasting’s didn’t immediately know the answer, he had the best approach for finding out. He turned around on live TV, shouted, “Hey JaMychal! Hey JaMychal! You playing?”
Green shook his head and said, “No.” That’s all it took.
