Backup center Jonas Valančiūnas became the latest casualty in the Denver Nuggets' mounting injury woes, diagnosed with a right calf strain that will sideline him for at least four weeks. Injured during his first start replacing Nikola Jokić, this leaves the third-place Nuggets (23-10) relying on thin frontcourt depth for key upcoming games.
Cade Cunningham has positioned himself as a frontrunner in the NBA MVP race, leading the Detroit Pistons to the league's best record.
