Denver Nuggets 2024 NBA Cup schedule: Full list of team's games in West Group C
Before the Denver Nuggets make a push to win their second title in three seasons, they'll compete for the 2024 NBA Cup. Formerly known as the In-Season Tournament, the NBA Cup schedule will begin in November and end in December.
Last year, the Lakers won the NBA Cup, but that was the height of LA's season, as it went downhill from there. Maybe the Nuggets will become the first team to win the NBA Cup and championship in the same year, but it won't be easy. Denver is in the league's toughest group.
