NEW ORLEANS – Denver’s reinforcements could be on the way.
and Michael Porter Jr. both went through most of the shootaround on Friday morning at Smoothie King Center, and could be available to play against the Pelicans tonight.
Nuggets coach Michael Malone said there was a “good chance” Harris plays after missing the past five games with a right adductor strain. Defensive specialist has started in his absence.
Porter, who missed Wednesday’s game vs. the Rockets after experiencing tightness in his upper back during his pregame shooting, was seen getting shots up toward the end of Friday’s workout.
“I think with Michael, itap going to be more how he feels once he’s done with his pregame routine, how does that back feel?” Malone said. “If they can both go, that’d be great because we need all hands on deck.”
The Nuggets (30-14) were missing five of their top seven rotation players in Wednesday’s loss to the Rockets. (ankle), (knee) and (foot) remain out.
