Strange stat... Gabriel Landeskog only played 52 games between Nazem Kadri appearances for the Avs.

The two's last time playing a regular season game together was almost four years ago to this date. 3-10-22. They'll have to wait to reunite.

Welcome back Kadri, what a pass!

No Jamal Murray update postgame but DA says that the star normally comes back when he turns his ankle.

Make of that what you will.

The Knicks locker room is loudly blaring Birthday Sex and you can hear it in the Nuggets press conference. It is Josh Hart’s birthday.

Needless to say, that was the worst 3-point shooting performance of the season for the Nuggets. They finished at 20%.

Tied for the worst home loss by margin (regular or postseason) in Denver Nuggets history.

They lose to the Knicks 142-103, 39

1998 against the Bulls, they also lost by 39.

Can’t tell if Nuggets fans are booing the team or are booing Knicks fans.

The Nuggets worst home loss of the Nikola Jokic era was by 31, dropping to the Warriors by that much on Jan. 15, 2019.

Denver trails New York by 25 at Ball Arena, have trailed by as much as 28. Fourth quarter starts now.

Knicks also beat the Nuggets by 27 in 2024 in the Mile High City as well.

DA needs to pull the Nuggets for the fourth. This is embarrassing

Nikola Jokic hits a three. THROW A PARADE.

2 for 25 from there off a Jones miss. Nuggets down to 8% from 3.

THJ misses a triple. Nuggets shooting 8.3% from three. Knicks extend to a 19-point lead. Denver's last make from deep was about 75 minutes ago in real time. Braun midway through the first quarter.

Nuggets down to 8.7% shooting from 3.

Jokic misses back to back threes. Nuggets now shooting 9% from deep.

Knicks take their largest lead of the game at 83-68. Loud let's go Knicks cheers at Ball Arena. Jokic has 30 on perfect shooting from two. No other active Nugget has more than seven. Denver is shooting 10% from 3, which would be an NBA season worst. They're also only shooting 16/24 from the line.

Murray questionable to return. Left ankle sprain.

Cam Johnson steal and rides it to star the second half for the Nuggets. No Murray

Jamal Murray leaves Nuggets-Knicks game with ankle injury – Denver Sports Jamal Murray left in the second quarter of Friday's Denver Nuggets game against the New York Knicks

Murray hurt

Jamal Murray stepped on Jokic's foot defending OG. Hurt his left ankle. Not putting any weight on it. He's being helped off the floor. In a lot of pain. Everyone is holding their breath.

Nuggets 2/18 from deep on THJ's corner miss. It was Denver's first shot from distance in more than seven minutes.

Cam Johnson hasn't hit a shot in a week, is 0-for-2, as part of the Nuggets big 2 for 17 from deep. They trail 41-36 midway through a choppy second quarter.

Landry Shamet, who was once murdered in this very building, leads the Knicks with 10 points.

Nevermind, it's a change in the sub pattern... Val checking in with nine to play in the second quarter. Nuggets going way bigger off the bench than they have been recently.

Looks like Jonas Valanciunas is out of the Nuggets rotation with the return of Aaron Gordon. Big Val has had some really nice moments for the Nuggets but Denver's bench has been struggling as of late.
