My name's Matt Moore.

They cover the ever nuggets for 14 seasons as a credentialed reporter. Glad to have you with us here on a Saturday night. I want to do one more episode before the last game is on Sunday just because of we got the injury report and it's last game of season and I kind of wanted to lay things out a little bit. So, Andrew Port came out today.

Nicola Yoko is questionable everybody else is out in terms. It's last game of season, and I kind of wanted to lay things out a little bit. So, Andrew Port came out today.

Nicola Yoko is questionable.

Everybody else is out in terms of the starters. Tim Hardaway Jr. is not going to play. Pretty much everybody is just, like, flat out, out. Like, they are not even messing around with, like, oh, they're questionable or, oh, they might play. but like just like a literal no no they are they they are, they are out, out. The complete list. Christian Brown is out. Aaron Gordon is out. Tamara Way Jr. is out. Spencer Jones is out. Spencer Jones is out. Jamal Murray is out. And Peyton Watson is out. Nicole Yokic is likely to play the 15 minutes in order to qualify for awards. He has to play 15 minutes because you get two games where you play between 15 and 19 minutes.

He'll play 15 minutes.

Probably a light load won't play much in terms of like they won't even want to get him really involved. I don't think he'll probably play just because like if you're going to go out there. Aaron once told me that it's more dangerous for you to go halfway than for you to play full because

your body can get hurt if you're not playing at the speed of everybody else.

And so it's actually more dangerous for you to not go hard.

So like Yogy will play when he plays.

He'll play for 15 minutes.

I don't know what the rotation will be.

I would imagine they probably want to do like seven minutes first half or first quarter,

eight minutes, second quarter, and then be done.
