Nuggets’ starters all questionable vs. Rockets after delays leaving Mexico

The Denver Nuggets faced significant plane delays while attempting to leave Mexico City, resulting in the team listing all of their starters as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Houston Rockets. The Nuggets defeated the Indiana Pacers 114-102 on Saturday afternoon in Mexico City and were scheduled to fly out that night, but aircraft malfunctions sent the team back to their hotel early Sunday morning.

Denver aimed to fly to Houston on Sunday night ahead of the scheduled contest. Due to the travel disruptions, the Nuggets canceled Monday's shootaround and designated Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Cameron Johnson, DeMar DeRozan, and Christian Braun on the injury report with various ailments.
