Nuggets searching for upgrades on the wing, backup center before trade deadline, sources say

Amid mounting injuries, the Denver Nuggets are actively searching for ways to improve their roster ahead of the trade deadline, two sources told The Denver Post.

With long-term injuries to both Michael Porter Jr. and P.J. Dozier, the Nuggets’ primary target is a wing, one source said. Outside of Will Barton, who can play small forward but is more a traditional shooting guard, the Nuggets’ roster is devoid of any true wings.

Barton has started the last four games at small forward as a result of the Nuggets’ injury-plagued rotations.

This season’s trade deadline is Feb.
