The Denver Nuggets lost a very winnable game against the Dallas Mavericks Thursday night, 124-117. The Nuggets are now 3-5 season and facing a three-game east coast road trip, which they will have to complete without Michael Porter Jr.
News swirled that Porter Jr. is facing an additional quarantine, which will likely sideline him for the next 5-6 games. Porter Jr. last played against the Sacramento Kings on December 29.
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. is facing a minimum of 10 additional quarantine days due to health and safety protocols, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.
