Nuggets’ PA announcer just called DeAndre Jordan “DeAndre Ayton” during pregame intros. – 9:09 PM
Michael Singer @msinger
Oh, man. #Nuggets starters just got announced. Last up was DeAndre Jordan. Was announced as DeAndre Ayton.
Preseason for everyone. – 9:09 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
No sign of Jae’Sean Tate at halftime so he presumably will play it safe with the ankle. That makes four regulars who are out. It also makes K.J. Martin the only Rockets player who played with Victor Oladipo in 2020-21 in the game. – 8:54 PM

Anyone around Denver and can make it to the game? I’ve got two last minute tickets! – 8:50 PM

Certainly seems like DeAndre Jordan still leads Zeke Nnaji in the competition at backup center. Just my read. – 8:50 PM

#Nuggets starters: Bones Hyland, Bruce Brown, MPJ, Jeff Green and DeAndre Jordan. – 8:43 PM

Talked with Deandre Ayton about more than if he and Monty Williams have talked.
“I love that dude.” on Victor Wembanyama
“We’re really over that shit.” on Game 7
“I train my family not to take anything personal.” on offseason
And so much more. #Suns ➡️ https://t.co/d13lTPAkXB pic.twitter.com/Ct360XTU3G8:40 PM

Jamal Murray also won’t play tonight, but he went through a pregame warmup as well.
Again, the Nuggets are easing him back into game action. He has left hamstring tightness that’s keeping him out tonight, but he looks good and is moving well. pic.twitter.com/Vc5yhLjcZ38:37 PM

Light contact work for Nikola Jokic. Just went 1-on-1 vs. Darrell Arthur for the last 10 minutes. Doesn’t seem like the wrist is limiting him in any way but did grab at it after a couple jumpers. pic.twitter.com/dQ0OzYoi7z7:52 PM

Michael Singer @msinger
Nikola Jokic just finished up roughly a 15 minute shooting session. He flexed the wrist a few times, but it didn’t seem to hamper him much. pic.twitter.com/MFMb5IW8hZ7:52 PM

Katy Winge @katywinge
Nikola Jokić will not play tonight for the Nuggets due to his right wrist not feeling 100%, but he’s still getting shots up pregame. Denver has held him out of the live portions of practice lately, just to be cautious.
Still making basically all the shots though. pic.twitter.com/USI12MohFB7:49 PM

Here’s a good sign: Nikola Jokic (right wrist sprain) getting up some shots right now at Ball Arena. He’s out tonight but doesn’t seem to be in any discomfort. pic.twitter.com/ct1uHFKvMB7:35 PM

Big opportunity for Bones Hyland vs. Phoenix with Jamal Murray out. His show tonight. pic.twitter.com/SXU9A2EOKw7:32 PM

Michael Singer @msinger
Michael Malone, asked about the #Nuggets penchant for ball-watching after a shot, explains that they’ve hammered the need to make a choice: crash the glass or sprint back.
Beating a dead horse?
“That horse has been dead.” – 7:31 PM

No Nikola Jokić (right wrist sprain), no Jamal Murray (left hamstring tightness), no Aaron Gordon or KCP just for rest purposes tonight for the Nuggets – 7:19 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope are all out tonight, Michael Malone says. Gordon and Caldwell-Pope are out for rest. – 7:19 PM
Vinny Benedetto @VBenedetto
Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Aaron Gordon are all out tonight. Last two are preventative, Michael Malone says. – 7:19 PM

Malone: Joker, Jamal, KCP and Aaron Gordon will all sit tonight.
KCP and AG is just routine rest. – 7:18 PM

Didn’t see Nikola Jokic during his typical pregame shooting time. Seems like he won’t play tonight. – 7:12 PM
Michael Singer @msinger
Given that Nikola Jokic isn’t warming up during his normal shooting time, I find it hard to believe he’s going to be playing tonight due to that wrist sprain. Expect team to continue to be cautious with him with two more exhibition games this week. – 7:03 PM

The latest on Nikola Jokic’s wrist, Jamal Murray’s hamstring and why I wouldn’t be surprised if neither played the rest of the preseason.
Also, what’s really grinding Michael Malone’s gears on the defensive end:

Josh Okogie has a handful of player traits that will fit right in with what the Suns do and a fresh start in Phoenix sounds like exactly what he needed.

On this day, we celebrate the resiliency and contributions of Native American people throughout the US.
Our ability to live, work and play basketball on this land is a result of the Indigenous tribes who have stewarded and cared for this land throughout generations. pic.twitter.com/nBD3aQmspq4:48 PM

How about #Suns sending Jae Crowder and Dario Saric to #Hawks for Bogdan Bogdanovic?
This year, Crowder due $10.1M, Saric $9.2M, Bogdanovic $18M.
Bogdanovic has yet to return from offseason knee surgery.
Saric back after missing last season.
Thoughts? https://t.co/ODEPCw4Y2Q pic.twitter.com/InPYsWOEzB3:59 PM

“Yeah, most def. I mean, we talk, man. At the end of the day, it’s like we’re trying to contribute to a win. Everything is back to normal. Nothing has changed.”
