The Nuggets are 35-25.
Jokic is averaging 26/14/8 on 57% shooting and leading the league in triple-doubles.
MPJ is coming back next month. Murray might come back in April. pic.twitter.com/2Po88uHdyH – 6:41 PM

Huge for the Nuggets if they get both Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. back and they are productive.
They could be that rare lower-seeded team that no one actually wants to see in the postseason. – 6:35 PM

#Nuggets up 38-30 after one against the Kings. Buried six 3-pointers, dished 12 assists.
And then you realize they played 10 guys in the first quarter, without Zeke/MPJ/Jamal. When healthy, this team can go 13 deep. – 9:39 PM

Jamal Murray isn’t on the court for pregame warmups. Michael Porter Jr. is going through normal warmup. Looks pretty good. – 8:38 PM

Seeing all the places Murray and MPJ would make a difference has been a complete curse all season. It continues in this first game post-ASB. – 11:44 PM

This is anecdotal and nothing more. I think it’s a good sign that both Jamal Murray and MPJ are traveling on one-game road trips, like tonight in SAC. – 10:34 PM

More on this storyline
Porter underwent lumbar spine surgery three months ago, a procedure that’s allowed him to return to the floor moving and shooting pain-free in recent weeks. Once Porter is cleared for contact, it’s expected it’ll just be the matter of a final ramp up until his return in March. -via ESPN / February 27, 2022
Ryan Blackburn: From the sound of it, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. have not started contact yet. Make of that what you will. -via Twitter @NBABlackburn / February 23, 2022
Chris Dempsey: Some good news coming from #Nuggets President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly, on @AltitudeSR, on the status of both Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr., saying he thinks they will physically cleared to return “hopefully in the not too distant future.” -via Twitter @chrisadempsey / February 11, 2022
