A genuine moment to embrace debate has bubbled up in the wake of the Denver Nuggets' key road win over the Golden State Warriors last night. Mike Malone's side was able to notch a victory against a really good team on the road despite the absences of Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Christian Braun. Which is great news for them but not so great for fans who hoped to see some these superstars on their televisions or in person.
"It's a horrible look for the league," ESPN's Tim Bontemps said Tuesday morning on Get Up. "This is why the NBA put in the player participation policy. They literally put in rules that said if you're playing in a nationally televised game, especially on the road, your stars are supposed to play."
