The hits just don’t stop coming to the 2020-21 Denver Nuggets.
The last time the Nuggets played the Warriors, their star point guard Jamal Murray suffered a torn ACL in the closing minute of the game. The injury cost Murray not just the remainder of this season, but will likely cause him to miss most of the next season as well. Last night, in the first minute of the game, Nuggets swingman Will Barton pulled up limping, falling to the court and holding his right hamstring.
Love him or hate him, there is no denying that Barton fills a key role for the Nuggets.
