Vlatko Cancar takes an MMA-level elbow to the face, blood gushes out of his nose.
Refs: was that a foul? Don’t think so. Play on… wait, maybe stop play so they can mop some blood up, then play on. – 10:01 PM Duvalier Johnson @DuvalierJohnson

Austin Rivers, Aaron Gordon and Vlatko Cancar are all available tonight, team announces.
That’s 12 healthy players available. #Nuggets are now deep. – 7:03 PM Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Popeye Jones says Aaron Gordon should be available tonight. Vlatko Cancar will be able to play short 2-3 minute stints. Sounds like Austin Rivers is a game-time decision. Jones also sent Bol Bol a text today and told him to be ready: “There may be a Bol Bol sighting tonight.” – 6:43 PM TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
