Every Nuggets starter listed as questionable after abysmal travel delays

The Denver Nuggets have listed all five starting players along with DeMar DeRozan as questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. The designations follow severe travel disruptions leaving Mexico City after their win over the Indiana Pacers. Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Cameron Johnson, Christian Braun, and DeRozan were all reported with ailments ranging from back spasms to sprained elbows.

According to broadcaster Katy Winge, plane mechanical issues and a malfunctioning door caused the team to deplane in the early morning and return to their hotel at 5 a.m. Their flight finally departed around 21 hours after the team initially left the arena.
