Weather Wreaks Havoc on Nuggets' Schedule

The Denver Nuggets' visit to Memphis took an unexpected turn as their Sunday afternoon game was canceled due to severe weather conditions. This marks the second time that weather has impacted their schedule. Earlier, they had to alter their travel plans because of winter storms, opting to fly directly to Memphis instead of staying in Milwaukee after their victory over the Bucks.

Impact on Spencer Jones and Upcoming Games

The postponement has significant implications beyond just the canceled game. It affects the remaining playing time for Spencer Jones, who has only five games left before he becomes ineligible to play unless his contract is modified. The Nuggets have an off day on Monday, followed by a four-game home series against the Detroit Pistons starting on Tuesday.

Injury Updates

Injuries have also taken a toll on the Nuggets. Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, Cam Johnson, and Christian Braun were already ruled out for the Memphis game. Jonas Valanciunas was expected to play, but Jamal Murray and Peyton Watson were listed as questionable.

Future Plans

The Nuggets are hopeful to return home on Sunday, pending their ability to fly out. The league will announce a new date for the postponed game at a later time. This situation highlights how weather and injuries can significantly disrupt a team's plans.
