The Denver Nuggets have added Russell Westbrook and Dario Saric to their roster, aiming to enhance their second unit. While Westbrook has made a significant impact, Saric has struggled, hitting only two of twelve shots in five games, leading to his removal from the rotation.

Head coach Michael Malone praised Saric's professionalism despite his struggles. Meanwhile, Zeke Nnaji has stepped up as a backup for Nikola Jokic, showing promise in his role. The season's long nature suggests Saric may yet find his way back into the mix.
