Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Not listed on report for Saturday
Hardaway (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Timberwolves.
Hardaway missed Denver's regular-season finale due to left knee soreness but will return to action Saturday. The veteran swingman averaged 10.7 points, 2.5 three-pointers, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 23.2 minutes per contest over his final 10 regular-season appearances (one start).

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Good to go for Game 1
Johnson (ankle) is available for Game 1 against Minnesota on Saturday.
The Nuggets kept Johnson off the court for their final two regular-season games, but they'll have the forward back on the floor for the start of the playoffs. A midseason right knee bone bruise limited Johnson to just 54 appearances in his debut season with Denver, but he did average a solid 12.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.2 three-pointers per contest while shooting 43.1 percent from deep across his final 26 games.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Not listed on injury report
Gordon (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Timberwolves.
Gordon missed Denver's last two regular-season games due to right hamstring injury management, but he's good to go for the start of the playoffs. The veteran forward appeared in four regular-season outings in April, during which he averaged 12.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 30.5 minutes per tilt.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Ruled out for Game 1
Watson (hamstring) won't play in Game 1 against the Timberwolves on Saturday.
Watson hasn't played since he suffered the right hamstring strain back on April 1, and it's not a great sign that he continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of tipoff. For now, he should be considered doubtful for Game 2 on Monday.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Off injury report for Saturday
Braun (ankle/hip) is available for Game 1 on Saturday against Minnesota.
Braun is set to return from a two-game absence due to ankle and hip injuries Saturday. The fourth-year swingman averaged 12.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.7 steals in 31.8 minutes per contest across 44 regular-season games.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Fades injury report
Murray (shoulder) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Timberwolves.
Murray missed Denver's final two regular-season games due to a right shoulder impingement, though he's set to return for the start of the playoffs. The star point guard reached the 20-point threshold in nine of his last 10 regular-season games, averaging 27.6 points, 7.1 assists and 4.3 rebounds across 37.9 minutes per contest during that span.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Questionable for Game 1
Jones (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's Game 1 matchup with Minnesota.
Jones missed the Timberwolves' final six regular-season games due to the hamstring injury, but there's a chance he'll be cleared for Saturday's game. If he does play, he'll likely have some strict minutes restrictions in his first game back.

Nuggets' David Roddy: Double-doubles Sunday
Roddy notched 15 points (6-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 128-118 win over the Spurs.
Roddy was one of several Denver players who enjoyed an uptick in playing time in the final days of the regular season due to the rest of several regulars. He took advantage of the opportunity by racking up 36 points, 15 rebounds, three steals and two assists in back-to-back wins over the Thunder and Spurs. Even though his performances were impressive, he's not expected to see regular playing time for Denver in the playoffs.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Scores 25 vs. San Antonio
Strawther notched 25 points (9-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 128-118 win over San Antonio.
Strawther made a strong case to be considered for playing time in the postseason after scoring 22 points against the Thunder and 25 against the Spurs on Friday and Sunday, respectively. Strawther should return to his regular bench in the playoffs, though. He ends the 2025-26 regular season with averages of 7.2 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game while starting in 14 of his 57 appearances.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Logs 18 minutes in season finale
Jokic amassed 23 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block over 18 minutes during Sunday's 128-118 victory over San Antonio.
Jokic suited up Sunday to reach the 65-game threshold required to be eligible for end-of-season awards. In dominant fashion, and to prove a point regarding his eligibility, he needed less than 20 minutes to surpass the 20-point mark, ending just two boards shy of a double-double. Jokic was one of the most dominant players in the NBA during the regular season, both in fantasy and in real life, after averaging 27.7 points, 12.9 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game. This was the second consecutive season he averaged a triple-double.

Nuggets' Jonas Valanciunas: Headed to bench
Valanciunas will come off the bench for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Spurs.
Nikola Jokic (wrist) will return from a one-game absence, but he'll likely have his minutes limited, so Valanciunas could still see quality playing time in the reserve role. Per 36 minutes this season, Valanciunas has averaged 23.3 points, 13.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.5 blocks per contest.
