Spurs Face Uphill Battle Against Nuggets Amidst Key Injuries
DENVER, CO – November 28, 2025 – The san Antonio Spurs will face a meaningful challenge tonight as they travel to take on the Denver Nuggets at 8:30 PM CT. both teams are navigating injury concerns as they meet, with the Nuggets missing Aaron Gordon (hamstring), christian Braun (ankle), and Julian strawther (back), while the Spurs are without victor Wembanyama (calf strain), Stephon Castle (hip flexor), and Jordan McLaughlin (hamstring).
The Nuggets,nearly three years removed from their championship victory,remain a top contender in the Western Conference,largely due to the play of Nikola Jokic. Following consecutive seven-game losses in the Western Conference Semifinals, denver underwent roster adjustments, trading Michael Porter Jr. and adding depth with acquisitions like Jonas Valančiūnas, Cam Johnson, Tim Hardaway Jr., and the returning Bruce Brown.
San Antonio,despite the absence of Wembanyama,has shown resilience,winning four of their last five games. however,this contest marks the start of a demanding stretch of road games extending into early December. Maintaining their position in the competitive Western Conference will require consistent effort from the entire roster, particularly with Wembanyama sidelined for at least another week, and potentially longer.
