Michael Singer @msingerRe. JaMychal Green, Malone says he’s out of the re-conditioning phase from COVID. Said both Zeke and DeMarcus have played well but he’ll look to get him in when he can, he said. – 6:37 PM Katy Winge @katywinge
Some Nuggets news today: Denver has cut DeMarcus Cousins, only to re-sign him to a new 10-day contract today to fill the open roster spot for the Nuggets.
Since the Nuggets have enough players cleared of health and safety protocol, that exemption is no longer available. – 11:53 AM Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs

For all intents and purposes, the bench has done its job. The Boogie + starters lineup wasn’t great, but the bench lineup was good. – 8:52 PM Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Game-high 11 first-half points for DeMarcus Cousins. Shot 4-10 from the field, 2-3 from distance, hauled in 5 rebounds (3 offensive). It wasn’t pretty but Denver will gladly take it. It’s offense, from the bench. – 8:52 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed

Davon Reed’s one turnover against the Pistons broke his streak of nine-straight games and 142 minutes played without a turnover. He has just five turnovers in 319 minutes this season, which is less than the seven DeMarcus Cousins has in two games. Mr. Dependable. – 6:18 PM Jeff Stotts @InStreetClothes
Dallas sports fans are all too familiar w/ THJ’s injury. Former Mavs Roddy B & Dominique Jones sustained 5th metatarsal fractures during the 2010-11 season. Cowboys players to sustain the injury include Dez Bryant & DeMarcus Lawrence, who missed 11 games earlier this year. – 11:58 PM Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
What a finish by Cade. Got his shoulder right into Boogie. He’s three points shy of a new career-high – 9:10 PM Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
DeMarcus Cousins just committed his fifth turnover in eight minutes. – 9:02 PM Michael Singer @msinger
After Boogie’s putback layup forced a Pistons TO, entire bench stood up and flexed. And as Boogie walked to the bench, Jokic grabbed Boogie to show him something he saw with the defense. – 7:46 PM James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Boogie got away with a blatant hook there on Lyles – 7:45 PM Michael Singer @msinger
