Next up for ailing Nuggets is a visit to surging 76ers

The Denver Nuggets are reeling and navigating a variety of injuries, and things won't get any easier when they visit the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday.

The Nuggets are coming off Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Brooklyn Nets as they dropped to 1-4 on their seven-game road trip. They continued to play without star center Nikola Jokic, who sustained a hyperextended left knee earlier on the trip, as well as forward Cameron Johnson (right knee contusion) and center Jonas Valanciunas (right calf strain).
