The Denver Nuggets were very shorthanded against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, and there's a chance that may be the case again against the LA Clippers.

The Nuggets have six players listed on their current injury report: Reggie Jackson, DeAndre Jordan, Jay Huff, Michael Porter Jr., Christian Braun, and Vlatko Cancar. Reggie Jackson is listed as day-to-day and did not play Sunday against the Chicago Bulls. DeAndre Jordan is listed as day-to-day and did not play against the Bulls. Jay Huff is listed as day-to-day and missed the game against the Chicago Bulls due to a rib injury. Michael Porter Jr. is listed as day-to-day and did not play against the Chicago Bulls due to an ankle injury. Christian Braun is listed as day-to-day and missed the game against the Chicago Bulls due to a calf injury. The only player who is out indefinitely is Vlatko Cancar due to knee surgery.

The LA Clippers only have Brandon Boston Jr. listed on their injury report due to a knee injury. They previously had Norman Powell, Ivica Zubac, and Marcus Morris Sr. on their injury report against the Utah Jazz.

The most important things for the Denver Nuggets during the preseason are getting their key players into game shape, and also focusing on Christian Braun and Julian Strawther. Denver's younger players will be one of the big keys to success during the regular season. 

The Denver Nuggets and LA Clippers face off at 10:30 p.m. ET tonight.
