The Denver Nuggets are facing major travel delays after leaving Mexico City, and they have listed all of their starters as questionable for Monday night’s game in Houston.
The Nuggets beat the Indiana Pacers 114-102 on Saturday afternoon in a neutral-site international game in Mexico City. They were scheduled to leave that night, but problems with their aircraft forced them back to the hotel early Sunday morning.
The team had hoped to take off for Houston on Sunday night ahead of a Monday night game against the Rockets. Because of the travel problems, the Nuggets cancelled Monday’s shootaround and listed Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Cameron Johnson, DeMar DeRozan and Christian Braun with various ailments.
Denver sits at 5-3 on the season, while Houston is 7-3.
