As Denver begins to relax its stay-at-home order, so too will the Denver Nuggets.
Beginning Friday, the Nuggets’ practice facility will be available to players for voluntary individual workouts, a league source confirmed, but it’s unclear how many players will take advantage. A significant portion of the players aren’t currently in Denver.
If they do choose to take advantage – the first tentative step toward a potential return-to-play – there will be rigorous rules in place at the Pepsi Center practice court. No more than four players will be permitted at the facility at any time, and for any individual workout, only one team staff member can work with the player.
That staffer can’t be a head coach, a front-of-bench coach or a front office executive, as detailed in an extensive memo sent by the NBA to its franchises last week.
so, skinny jokic is a real thing. . .

Shortly after the season was suspended March 11, Nuggets coach Michael Malone recalled not feeling well. As it turns out, an anti-body test administered months later revealed he had COVID-19.
Malone, speaking to CBS4 in Denver, said he wasn’t able to get a test when he initially started feeling symptoms around March 20.
“I only found out after the fact,” Malone said. “I was able to get an anti-body test, probably right around Memorial Day weekend. Not surprisingly, our team doctor called up and said, ‘Listen, you’ve tested positive.’”
As a result, Malone said his wife and their two daughters had to get tested as well.
now skinny joker got the rona. . .
ugh
i don't see any masks. . .
i don't have any evidence, but i'd say the joker got sick. . .

After more than four months away from basketball, the Nuggets will officially return to play on August 1 when they take on the Miami Heat in Orlando in the first of their eight seeding games, according to the league’s schedule release Friday night.
The Nuggets will be featured on national television five times, including twice on TNT, twice on ESPN and once on NBATV.
There will be no exclusive national telecasts during the seeding games, according to a league source. That means all eight seeding games should be carried by Altitude.
After taking on the Heat, the Nuggets will face the Thunder, the Spurs, the Trail Blazers, the Jazz, the Lakers, the Clippers and the Raptors before heading to the postseason. The last seeding games will be played on August. 14.
Can anyone in Denver get Altitude yet?
Yes, if you have Direct TV. Found this.

The stalemate between Comcast and Altitude TV is nearing its 10th month with local Nuggets and Avalanche game broadcasts absent from the state’s largest cable provider. The following is an update with commonly asked questions about the carriage rights dispute.
Why did Comcast pull Altitude from its lineup?
A 15-year partnership between Altitude and Comcast expired because of a changing TV market as cord-cutting forced distributors to re-evaluate their business models. Kroenke-owned Altitude, which carries the Nuggets and Avalanche, doesn’t have the clout of other regional sports networks because of its independence. With Comcast’s deal expiring in Denver, it likely wanted to make an example of Altitude (which could be cited in further RSN negotiations). It’s a fair assumption to call it a leverage play.
Comcast also likely didn’t want to pay simultaneously for Altitude and AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain (home of the Rockies) as two RSNs covering essentially the same territory. Furthermore, AT&T-owned DirecTV carries several Comcast RSNs in its own regions, and Comcast carries four AT&T RSNs in its markets. It left Altitude vulnerable from a business standpoint.

The Denver Nuggets closed the team's practice facility starting Saturday after a round of positive tests for the coronavirus, sources told ESPN.
The Nuggets had two members of the team's 35-person Orlando traveling party -- which encompasses players, coaches and staff -- initially test positive before the weekend shutdown, sources said. There has been at least one more positive test since Saturday, sources said. Denver All-NBA center Nikola Jokic tested positive for the coronavirus in Serbia, where he was asymptomatic, sources told ESPN.
The Nuggets will reopen their facility based on the results of ongoing testing. Players are allowed to undergo controlled, socially distanced workouts with coaches in the facility until the team leaves for Orlando on July 7.
