The Nuggets have played to a 17-24 record after 41 games of the 2016-17 season, which may be better than some people expected and may be worse than others expected.
It’s been an interesting journey to this point for the team. It was just a few months ago that the organization was exuberant about the possibilities of the Jusuf Nurkic-Nikola Jokic frontcourt. Now the team is nearly certain to trade Nurkic, who has been relegated to a minor bench role, by the trade deadline, according to media reports.
The team has seen players honored for their performance, like Jamal Murray winning Rookie of the Month for his play in November.
