The injuries are suddenly piling up for the reigning champs.
Denver Nuggets starting shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope departed the first quarter of the defending champions' ongoing contest Monday night against the visiting Los Angeles Lakers .Dave McMenamin of ESPNAs has been the case for much of this series, the Nuggets have struggled in all of their first quarters against Los Angeles. The team has already coughed up the ball for five live-ball turnovers just in this ongoing opening frame.
Allie LaForce of TNT reports that Caldwell-Pope has suffered an ankle strain officially, and is questionable to return. Backup combo guard Reggie Jackson, who would have gotten the nod for major minutes behind Caldwell-Pope, is still dealing with his own major ankle injury and, though he is playing for Monday's contest, is limited, per LaForce.
Losing one of their best two-way talents in Caldwell-Pope, Caldwell-Pope of course won his first of two titles with the Lakers in 2020 before being flipped to the Washington Wizards as part of the ill-fated Russell Westbrook trade. He later was shipped to Denver, with whom he won a title last year.
