There was no official word on the status of Nuggets wing P.J. Dozier late Tuesday night, but his teammates were somber after the combo guard exited the game following an awkward landing late in the first quarter in Portland.
“Everybody kind of embraced him in the locker room,” said Nuggets guard Monte Morris following the team’s 119-100 loss to Portland on Tuesday night. “You never know what somebody’s going through, on or off the court. Prayers to P.J. Really, really good friend of mine, and I’m wishing him the best.”
Dozier went at Blazers center Cody Zeller on a layup attempt with 49 seconds left in the first quarter but came down off-balance, with all of the pressure on his left knee.
