Nuggets' game at Grizzlies postponed due to weather in Memphis

A Denver Nuggets game scheduled for Sunday afternoon against the Grizzlies was postponed because of inclement weather in Memphis, Tenn., the league announced.

What was supposed to be the last of a three-game road trip for Denver (31-15) will now be played at a later date to be determined. The Nuggets are still planning to return home from Memphis on Sunday if they’re able to fly, a team official told The Denver Post.

They already changed their travel schedule once on the trip due to winter storms in Memphis, flying in from Milwaukee immediately after a 102-100 win over the Bucks on Friday night instead of staying overnight in Milwaukee as originally planned.

Monday is an off day for the Nuggets, who will then tip off a four-game homestand with the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday.

 

The postponed game also pushes back the clock on remaining games for two-way wing Spencer Jones, who has only five games remaining before he’s ineligible to play unless his contract is converted.

Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, Cam Johnson and Christian Braun had all been ruled out for the game in Memphis with various injuries. Jonas Valanciunas was likely to play, coach David Adelman said on Friday. Jamal Murray and Peyton Watson had been listed as questionable on the team’s injury report.
