The Denver Nuggets’ double-overtime loss to the New York Knicks on Wednesday night is leaving behind more than just a result in the standings.
In the aftermath of the marathon game, Denver is now dealing with another hamstring injury, a development that adds to the team’s immediate concerns. The injury is described as lingering and appears headed for an extended absence.
Another setback after a long night
Wednesday’s game required two extra periods, stretching the night and the workload for both teams. For the Nuggets, the lingering impact now includes an injury situation that could keep a key piece out for a significant stretch.
Denver will have to navigate the short-term schedule with that uncertainty, as the team manages health and availability following the extended contest.
