Nikola Jokic committed eight turnovers as Denver’s starting point guard during Wednesday’s scrimmage, with Jamal Murray (rest) unavailable.
Jokic did add 16 points (3-of-5 FG, 8-of-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, two triples and one steal while he was out there, but the turnovers were sloppy and he also committed four fouls in just 27 minutes. Still, the Nuggets managed to pull out the win despite almost everyone playing out of position, so credit to Michael Malone. Troy Daniels was the only guard available for the team, and he finished with 22 points, four triples, six rebounds, three assists, one steal and three turnovers in 30 minutes, but he’ll see a greatly reduced role once the other guards are activated.
