All Nuggets’ starters upgraded on injury report after Mexico trip debacle

The Denver Nuggets had all key players upgraded from questionable to probable on the official injury report ahead of their game against the Houston Rockets. The status upgrades followed travel difficulties that forced the squad to stay an extra day in Mexico after their weekend game against the Indiana Pacers due to airplane issues.

Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun, Cam Johnson, and DeMar DeRozan were all cleared to play in Monday's matchup. Denver enters the contest with a 5-3 record, while the Rockets hold a 7-3 mark following two consecutive losses.
