Once again its Wembanyama vs. Jokic! As the Denver Nuggets and San Antonio Spurs face off the matchups will showcase yet another thrilling matchup. As both teams continue their journeys some injuries are the concern. So, with that, let’s look into their injury report and see who’s dominating.

Are there any hoopers in the Nuggets and Spurs injured?

First, let’s look into Nuggets’ injury report. Aaron Gordon will remain “out” due to his calf injury. The hooper sustained the injury against the Phoenix Suns after feeling discomfort in the calf in the third quarter. However, this isn’t the first time that he has gotten injured as a similar injury kept him out of the court for 10 games. Meanwhile, their forward Vlatko Cancar will also remain “out” due to his knee injury, which was sustained during a game against the Grizzlies. Remember when he missed the FIBA World Cup?

It’s the same knee that’s injured where he suffered a torn ACL in 2023, because of which he had missed the FIBA World Cup. However, there’s one more hooper that’s injured in the Nuggets side. DaRon Holmes II underwent surgery to repair a torn right Achilles, that he sustained in a 88-78 loss to the LA Clippers. And he is yet to play this season, and it’s said that he will miss the entire 2024-25 season. And with that, let’s look into what does Spurs’ injury report says. The Spurs’ injury report has only 2 injuries. First, Jeremy Sochan is “out” due to his back injury. On the other hand, David Duke Jr.’s status is listed as “day-to-day” due to an undisclosed minor injury. As we end with the injury reports, let’s look into their depth chart and potential lineup.
