The Denver Nuggets face a major travel crisis ahead of Monday night’s clash with the Houston Rockets, and they have listed all of their starters as questionable. Plane problems have stranded the team in Mexico City.
The Nuggets beat the Indiana Pacers 114-102 on Saturday afternoon in a neutral-site international game in Mexico City. They were scheduled to leave that night, but issues with their aircraft forced them back to the hotel early on Sunday morning.
The team had hoped to take off for Houston on Sunday night. Travel problems have now forced the Nuggets to cancel Monday’s shootaround. The club has also listed Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Cameron Johnson, DeMar DeRozan and Christian Braun with various ailments.
Denver enters the game at 5-3, while Houston arrives at 7-3.
