Denver Nuggets forwards Aaron Gordon (back) and Will Barton (illness) will both play and start Wednesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Both players were probable coming into the contest so this does not come as a surprise. However, the Nuggets will get Barton back after a two-game absence due to a non-COVID illness. Davon Reed […]

Terence Davis Enters Health And Safety Protocols

Sacramento Kings forward Terence Davis is out Wednesday against the Washington Wizards and has entered the league's health and safety protocols.
