Latest Injury Updates Denver Nuggets – Minnesota Timberwolves
DENVER NUGGETS
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Collin Gillespie | PG | Mon, Jan 16 | Lower Leg | Expected to be out until at least Jan 24 |
| Peyton Watson | SF | Mon, Jan 16 | Thigh | Expected to be out until at least Jan 20 |
| Jeff Green | PF | Wed, Jan 4 | Hand | Expected to be out until at least Jan 20 |
At the moment, Nikola Jokic is in charge for the Nuggets, and he is reported to be fit to play against the Timberwolves.
The Nuggets star has been a revelation over the past few seasons, so there isn’t much more to say about him at this point. He has been sidelined for a while due to pain in his wrist, which forced him to miss a game last week. Still, Jokic rarely misses games due to injuries, so he shouldn’t be out for long if he keeps playing despite discomfort.
T-WOLVES
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anthony Edwards | SG | Tue, Jan 17 | Hip | Game Time Decision |
| Taurean Prince | PF | Tue, Jan 17 | Ankle | Game Time Decision |
| Rudy Gobert | C | Mon, Jan 16 | Groin | Game Time Decision |
| Jordan McLaughlin | PG | Mon, Jan 16 | Calf | Expected to be out until at least Jan 30 |
| Karl-Anthony Towns | PF | Sun, Jan 15 | Calf | Expected to be out until at least Jan 27 |
With left hip soreness, Anthony Edwards’ status for Wednesday’s game in Denver is in doubt.
Despite Edwards’s hip injury, he has played in every game so far this season. Over the course of the last five games, the 21-year-old has put up 25.4 points, 4.2 boards, 4.8 assists, and 1.4 steals in 33.8 minutes per game.
