In addition, one of the most thrilling players in NBA history is Russell Westbrook, the 2017 MVP.

As a result, supporters are eager to watch how well they get along in their first season together.

The Nuggets will play two more preseason games against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves.

They will then open up the 2024-25 regular season when they host the Thunder on October 24 in Denver.
