Here’s what Denver’s injury report looks like against the Celtics after their insanely short win over the 76ers
Recently, the The Denver Nuggets made it one of the surprising wins of the 2025-26 NBA season with a road win via the Philadelphia 76ersdespite all five of their starting players sitting out with injury. The Nuggets got some key performances from unsung heroes like Peyton Watson and Jalen Pickett, and eventually pulled out the win in overtime when Tyrese McKay’s floater flew off the rim.
Next up for the Nuggets is a tough road game against the red-hot Boston Celtics on Wednesday, and the team recently released its latest injury update for that competition.
Fortunately, this injury report looks a lot more promising than the one against the 76ers. Jamal Murray is currently questionable for this game with a sprained left ankle, while Christian Brown, who recently returned to the lineup after a long absence, is also questionable with the same injury.
Meanwhile, Aaron Gordon is also questionable after recently returning from a hamstring injury. Tim Hardaway Jr. is questionable due to illness. Nikola Jokic, Cameron Johnson and Jonas Valanciunas will remain out.
The Celtics are ready to have all of their key players who have been available this season for this matchup.
The good news for the Nuggets is that they are in a good position to withstand a bit of a skid with Jokic’s injury, currently just a game out of second place in the unforgiving Western Conference at 24-12.
Wednesday night’s game will provide a good test against a Celtics team that has been on a roll lately, recently catapulted to second place in the Eastern Conference despite playing this season without star Jayson Tatum, who is recovering from an Achilles tear.
Either way, the Nuggets and Celtics are scheduled to tip off at 7:00 PM ET from Boston.
