The Denver Nuggets' championship ambition is resting squarely on the shoulders of their health. Their injury problems are well documented this season. First, Christian Braun went down. Next, it was Aaron Gordon, and then Cam Johnson. Even Nikola Jokic was unable to avoid the injury bug, missing 16 games due to a knee injury. The bug spread like the plague, eventually hitting every part of the roster, including the bench.
The only constant in the starting lineup this season has been Jamal Murray. However, towards the end of their 136-120 win in Chicago against the Bulls, Murray could be seen noticeably limping.
