LAS VEGAS -- The Nuggets’ Summer League opener on Friday was canceled due to the impact of earthquake aftershock. With the game not being rescheduled, Denver’s Summer League head coach Jordi Fernandez and his players know there’s a lot at stake in the remaining three preliminary games.
“That’s the bad part,” Fernandez told CBS4. “I thought the guys deserved to play all four of those (preliminary games) and then the playoff game, but we’re going to make the best of it.”
Denver will now begin its Summer League action against the Orlando Magic in what should be a tightly-contested game on Sunday at the Cox Pavilion.
