Ish Smith - Tallies 15 points, eight assists Smith scored 15 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3 Pt, 1-2 FT) with eight assists and four rebounds in 23 minutes against the Clippers on Wednesday while adding one steal and a block.
Impact Smith started strong and finished strong on Wednesday night, going 2-of-2 from the field in the first quarter with three assists and a block on Terrance Mann before finishing the game on 4-of-4 shooting in the fourth. The Nuggets point guard scored the team's first points in the final quarter to put them up 102-100 and tacked on another three assists down the final stretch to help put the Clippers away. Smith will look to play a key role off the bench for Denver this season.

Nikola Jokic - Nets seven assists Jokic scored two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3 Pt, 2-2 FT) with seven assists, three rebounds and a steal in 16 minutes during Wednesday night's win over the Clippers.
Impact Jokic only took two shots in the game, both coming in the second quarter. He instead focused on setting up his teammates, racking up seven first-half assists before sitting for the entire second half. The reigning MVP dished out his first of four first-quarter assists to Bruce Brown for an easy layup before setting up Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for a three to give the Nuggets their first lead of the game. On the downside, Jokic did turn it over four times in just 16 minutes of action, while also being charged with four fouls.

Impact Hyland suffered a left ankle sprain Monday against the Suns and will miss Wednesday's tilt with the Clippers as a result.

Jamal Murray - Officially listed as questionable Murray (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's preseason matchup with the Clippers, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports
Impact Murray missed Monday's preseason contest and is now questionable for Wednesday due to left hamstring tightness. There is no indication that the point guard will miss any regular-season action. With Murray and Bones Hyland both questionable for Wednesday's game, Ish Smith and Bruce Brown are in line for increased workloads.

Bones Hyland - Questionable Wednesday Hyland (lower leg) is considered a question mark for Wednesday's clash with the Clippers, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
Impact Hyland suffered a leg injury during Monday's preseason contest, which led to his designation on the injury report for Wednesday. The Nuggets will presumably take the cautious route with the second-year guard in the preseason to ensure his health for the start of the regular season, but more clarification should arrive on game day.
OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jokic - Questionable to play Wednesday Jokic (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's preseason matchup with the Clippers, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
Impact Jokic has missed two consecutive preseason games due to a right wrist sprain. It appears that the Nuggets are being extra cautious with Jokic in order to ensure he is healthy for the regular season. That means that the star big man will likely play limited minutes if he does play at all for the rest of the preseason.

Impact Golden was waived from his Exhibit 10 deal by the club last week, but it appears he's back on board for the time being. It remains to be seen if he has any chance to stick around when the regular-season rosters are filled out.

DeAndre Jordan - Hits double-digit boards again Jordan registered seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes in a 107-105 preseason win against the Suns on Monday.
Impact Reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic missed his second straight exhibition contest due to a wrist issue, giving Jordan the opportunity to start. The veteran performed as has come to be expected, notching a team-leading 10 rebounds for the second straight game while playing a minor role in the offense. Jordan will back up Jokic as long as the latter is healthy, and though his days as a fantasy asset are now just a memory, Jordan has shown in the preseason that he can still help clean up the boards when called upon.

Ish Smith - Paces Denver in preseason win Smith tallied 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven assists and three rebounds over 25 minutes Monday in a 107-105 victory versus Phoenix.
Impact Smith came off the bench to lead the Nuggets in scoring and assists in the exhibition win. The veteran point guard is on a non-guaranteed contract and is pushing to claim a roster spot, so Monday's performance could help him in that regard. Even if he does stick with Denver, Smith figures to see little regular-season action unless one of Jamal Murray (thigh) or Bones Hyland (leg) misses time.
