As the defending champions returning most of the core of that title team, it was supposed to go better much better than this. Nevertheless, the Denver Nuggets’ 2023-24 NBA season ended Sunday with a Game 7 loss in their second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Clemente Almanza: Jalen Williams on criticisms of being on social media too often: “Doesn’t bother me at all. I got to play in the playoffs. Be a key piece on the youngest team in history to be the 1 seed and win a playoff series… It doesn’t hold any value behind the keyboard.”
