The Denver Nuggets roster was impacted by Health and Safety protocols and couldn’t keep up with the Miami Heat, dropping a 97-77 result in their opening Summer League game.
Denver was led by Bol Bol and Caleb Agada, with both players finishing with 21 points apiece. RJ Nembhard Jr. led Miami with 18.
The Nuggets missed several players due to Health and Safety protocols, including 2021 first rounder Bones Hyland along with Zeke Nnaji and Markus Howard. Those players were expected to join Bol Bol as key components of Charles Klask’s offense. With the absences, the Nuggets fought valiantly on defense but shot just 36.
