DeMarcus Cousins is active tonight, but doesn’t sound like he’ll be in the rotation, I’m told.
Malone said before the game he’d go through pre-game warmups and then make a determination. – 9:09 PM

okay… Jokic isn’t blocking that game-tying layup by Zubac 😅
Doc Rivers uses his before 3:00 timeout with Philadelphia hanging by a thread of a 93-91 lead. – 9:05 PM

If I didn’t know he just had surgery, I’d think Michael Porter Jr. is suiting up tonight. His warmup before Nuggets-Grizzlies doesn’t look much different from the warmup he typically does before actually playing. A little less vertical on his jumper but that’s about it. pic.twitter.com/kwi0ry0BNS – 8:47 PM

Taylor Jenkins thought the gameplan discipline has been good against Denver this year, but Jokic is faciliating and handling more in the pick-and-roll, so that’s a different fold for sure – 7:36 PM

Bryn Forbes will play tonight for the Nuggets, says Coach Malone.
DeMarcus Cousins is dealing with a slight injury (Coach Malone didn’t even want to call it an “injury”), so Malone said he’ll wait and see how he feels.
Both did go through shootaround this morning. – 7:27 PM

Re. DeMarcus Cousins, Michael Malone said he’s been dealing with a slight issue and will go through pre-game and see if he’s good to go.
But said he’s a “helluva” player and is anticipating this 10-day going well.
