If it wasn’t already clear, Nikola Jokic vs. Victor Wembanyama will remain appointment viewing for the duration of Jokic’s prime. Wembanyama went for 35 points and 18 rebounds as the Spurs won a 113-110 thriller over the Nuggets on Friday night at Ball Arena. The European bigs will run it back on Saturday in San Antonio to complete a back-to-back. Michael Malone took a timeout with 17 seconds to go, down one, to let Jokic go to work against Wembanyama, but San Antonio sent a late double-team, and Jokic turned the ball over trying to find an open Michael Porter Jr.

There hasn’t been a cornerback named the NFL’s defensive player of the year since Stephon Gilmore in 2019.

Scott Wedgewood was walking around the Colorado Avalanche facility Friday in flip-flops, a pretty encouraging sign for a goaltender who left Ball Arena the night before in a walking boot.

All year, the Broncos’ receiving group has been Courtland Sutton and then the rest. That hasn’t changed completely in recent weeks, but a new face has entered the equation. Suddenly, Marvin Mims Jr. is squarely in the picture. Over the past six games, Sutton has 34 catches (51 targets) for 414 yards and four touchdowns.

Garett Bolles spoke from the bottom of a hole deeper than the 50-point loss his team had just suffered. The veteran offensive lineman couldn’t hold in bubbling frustration as his seventh professional season started with a third straight defeat, this one a 70-20 embarrassment at the hands of the Miami Dolphins on Sept.

Vance Joseph was honest. When Dondrea Tillman arrived at Broncos’ training camp in July, the defensive coordinator didn’t know what to expect from the 26-year-old outside linebacker the team had signed out of the United Football League. Tillman, at 6-foot-3 and weighing 270 pounds, has all the physical traits a team would look for in a pass rusher.
