“I do consider it a privilege,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. “I think they are putting the best teams, the marquee teams on TV on Christmas Day, and I’m thankful that we’re one of those teams.”
Last Christmas, the NBA handed the Nuggets a lump of coal.
“You probably gotta thank Nikola for that,” said Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr., when asked about being featured alongside the 76ers, Knicks, Lakers, Mavericks, Celtics, Bucks, Grizzlies, and Warriors. Not only was the decision prudent — the Nuggets entered Sunday’s showdown first in the West at 20-11 and riding a three-game win streak — but the league couldn’t snub Jokic, on the heels of another MVP campaign, again. Not to mention, it’s the first time Denver will face the Suns at full strength since they were humbly swept out of the playoffs during the 2020-21 playoffs. Then, Murray was only two months into his ACL rehab, and Porter has since said he wasn’t healthy during the series.
