Bones Hyland wrote 7-8 Nuggets’ play calls on his wrist in sharpie when the Nuggets played in Milwaukee last week. It was Hyland’s first game at backup point guard: “I wasn’t used to calling plays out…Now, it’s clicking instantly for me,” Hyland said tonight. pic.twitter.com/jF3iLMdFeG – 1:02 AM

Bones Hyland said that he talks to @Isaiah Thomas almost every day.
That was an interesting tidbit after he had one of his best games of his young career.
Also goes to show the type of veteran leadership that Thomas provides, even not being in the league right now and should be. – 12:33 AM

Nuggets went 14-for-19 from the line in the first half? This is why the league won’t give us free throws on a nightly basis – unfair advantage or something. Gonna love the 5 trips to the charity stripe coming Denver’s way next game. – 10:12 PM

Oof. Nuggets drop 83 on the Knicks in the first half. That’s the 2nd-most first half points the Knicks have ever allowed. The record is 84 to the Lakers in L.A. on Jan. 15, 1966. (Via @Basketball-Reference) – 10:08 PM

The Nuggets bench unit with Forbes, Bones and Nnaji has plenty of spacing and it’s done wonders for their ability to get downhill.
Also, nothing like more 3-point shooting to help their offensive output. They don’t call it the great equalizer for nothing. – 9:45 PM

Sources: At least 4 teams – inc #Knicks, #Pacers, #Sixers and #Jazz – have reached out to the #Kings about De’Aaron Fox. Sac believes Fox is a valuable asset and future perennial All-Star. After trading Tyrese Haliburton, I’m told a deal involving Swipa is “highly unlikely.” – 4:42 PM

I do think there’s a realistic chance that the Nuggets seriously pursue Gary Harris on the buyout market if it comes to that. About as realistic of a fit as any. – 4:31 PM

I just had a dream that the Nuggets made a trade that was detailed down to the panic of missing it, Instagram stories, and the Slack chat assignments. Folks, I need help. – 3:53 PM

Eric Adams on NYC vax mandate: “We have to adhere to what we put out. … if the rules of you being employed means vaccinated and you’re not, that is a decision you’re making not a decision we’re making as a city. I say don’t quit on New York. Take your vaccine and booster shot.” – 3:48 PM
