Locked On Nuggets - Daily Podcast On The Denver Nuggets

Nikola Jokic said his wrist feels weird and didn't practice while everyone maintains everything is fine. Matt and Adam debate whether or not they can even talk about the thing they can't talk about because they don't know enough, but it's probably fine, unless it's not. Matt says it's time for Zeke Nnaji to have a rotation spot in pen, not pencil, and the Nuggets get a new TV partner. Plus, Matt breaks down why he likes the over on the Nuggets' win total.

The Nuggets lose to the Thunder, but the story of the night was the emotional returns of Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. Jamal comes out cold but catches fire in the second while MPJ... well, it doesn't matter where or how he gets the shot, it's a bucket. The starters are flat but you see the potential. Malone fumes about the defense, predictably. The bench unit was a mess. Was it Bones or the spacing, or both? Plus, guys who shined and guys who struggled, we react to everything from preseason Game No.1 for Denver on Locked on Nuggets.

Eurobasket wraps up, Jokic isn't All-Eurobasket. Should Denver have kept Juancho Hernangomez? Then we turn our attention to the wings. Is this the deepest wing rotation the Nuggets have had in the Jokic era? Who gets minutes at the end between Davon Reed and Christian Bruan? Then we dissect the Southwest Division, and walk away unimpressed with Memphis' chances, optimistic on what the Pelicans can do, and disagree on how good Dallas can be. All this and more on Locked on Nuggets.
