David Adelman, newly appointed interim head coach of the Denver Nuggets, emphasizes the team's potential as they navigate a tumultuous season. After the firing of head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth, Adelman takes the reins in hopes to reinvigorate a squad struggling to maintain playoff positioning. Despite recent setbacks, including injuries to key players like Jamal Murray, Adelman believes the core of the team, including stars Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon, still has the talent to compete for the championship.

He acknowledges the contributions of Malone while expressing optimism about future prospects. Following a challenging stretch of games, including an 11-13 record since the All-Star break, Adelman aims to re-establish a positive atmosphere within the locker room, focusing on improved communication and teamwork. The Nuggets are set to face the Sacramento Kings and the Memphis Grizzlies, seeking to turn their fortunes around and support Jokic in his quest for another postseason run.
