It was a tough start for the Denver Nuggets summer league squad as their comeback fell just short as the Minnesota Timberwolves captured a 85-78 victory. On the bright side, it was awesome to have Nuggets basketball back and all three of the Nuggets rookies played fairly well.
The Nuggets ended up rolling with a starting lineup that featured Collin Gillespie, Christian Braun, Peyton Watson, Matt Mitchell, and Jontay Porter. It was surprising to see Nuggets second round pick Ismael Kamagate not get the starting nod, but Porter certainly made his presence felt early as he drained the Nuggets first points of the game, a three-pointer.
