“Resting guys and holding guys out is over”: Nuggets done sitting players during preseason

Coach Michael Malone and the Denver Nuggets are done resting players and will work towards establishing the rotation they’ll use to start the regular season over their last four preseason games.

“We’re not going to sit anyone else the rest of the preseason,” Malone said. “Unless something comes up.”

Throughout Denver’s first four preseason games, Malone has been careful not to overextend his veterans. Danilo Gallinari has only played in two of four games. Wilson Chandler, Will Barton, Nikola Jokic, Kenneth Faried, Jusuf Nurkic, Jameer Nelson and, Emmanuel Mudiay have each seen action in three games.
