The Nuggets, plagued by injuries, suffered a disappointing defeat against the Kings, extending their losing streak to three games as they head into the All-Star break. Despite a strong start and a notable performance from Aaron Gordon, who recorded 25 points and 15 rebounds, the absence of key players like Jamal Murray and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope proved detrimental.
Nikola Jokic also had an off night with 15 points, eight assists, and five rebounds. Coach Michael Malone attributed the recent struggles to the team’s health, emphasizing the absence of their top five players in recent games. Despite the setback, the Nuggets are looking forward to utilizing the All-Star break to recuperate and prepare for the remaining 24 games of the season.
