For the first since Wednesday April 16th, Denver Nugget fans get to watch their favorite team play basketball again. Well, sorta. In T-minus 24 hours (6PM EST), the Denver Nugget Summer League begins in Las Vegas versus the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors opened their schedule on Friday with a win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
If you are watching the game on NBA TV or following along on the internet, use the hashtag #NuggetsFanHere on Twitter and your tweet could appear in one of my upcoming articles.
The Denver Nuggets have already made three cuts to their summer league roster – – Center Solomon Alabi, Forward Chris Evans and Guard Brandon Jefferson.
The Nuggets website lists their current 13 man Summer League roster. I kept the three most popular names with the Nuggets description of them and have linked the other 10 players to the more in depth articles written on this site.
