The Denver Nuggets are in a bad situation. Despite winning an NBA championship less than two seasons ago with a core that included Nikola Jokić, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter, and Aaron Gordon, the team now faces the danger of being eliminated from the first round of the Western Conference playoffs by the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Denver Nuggets are looking to bounce back on Thursday night when they take on the LA Clippers in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series. They may, however, have to play without the services of Michael Porter Jr.

The Denver Nuggets interim head coach made a major announcement regarding Michael Porter Jr.'s injury ahead of Game 3 against the Los Angeles Clippers.
