The Denver Nuggets face major travel delays after leaving Mexico City and are listing 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. The team was scheduled to leave that night, but problems with its aircraft forced the Nuggets back to the hotel early Sunday morning.
Denver had hoped to take off for Houston on Sunday night for a Monday night matchup against the Rockets. Because of the travel problems, the team canceled Monday’s shootaround. It also listed Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Cameron Johnson, DeMar DeRozan and Christian Braun as questionable with various ailments.
The Nuggets are 5-3, while the Rockets are 7-3.
