ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Six hours before a frustrated Michael Malone boarded the team plane to stew over Denver’s sloppy preseason performance for the next 17 hours of flight time, a calmer Malone reflected on the sum of his experiences traveling internationally for NBA games.
And more pertinently, he pondered whether his 2024 experience would leave him open to the idea of the Nuggets scheduling more international games in the future.
“For me, being around the league as long as I have been, I enjoy these trips in the preseason,” Malone told The Denver Post and Altitude Sports.
