Brendan Vogt

He says he learned a lot about just how hard it is, how much hard work it requires so that you're able to return in as close to peak condition as possible.

So this has all been a learning experience for Peyton Watson.

He is excited to get back to where he left off.

Of course, before that injury, he had emerged as really a revelation in Denver's rotation, a new potential top option in a pinch, and a guy that David Adelman called today a Swiss army knife.

Peyton Watson also spoke about the defensive consistency, and he says that he thinks they're close.

He says it's literally inch by inch, second by second.

That's how close we are to finding that defensive consistency, but there's more work to do, and guys have to lock in.

and right now for the most part it's just important most important that we win every game anyway and we also heard from cam johnson we told you he would explain the back spasm situation he did and i'll explain it to you but first one more reminder to like this video subscribe to the channel so you get all these kinds of information on the nuggets here as we get close to the playoffs injury updates what they're talking about in practice how close the team thinks they are

to really reaching that peak form.

You get all of that information and more here at DNVR.

And yes, Cam Johnson spoke to the media today and he says the back spasms have eased up and they typically do.

He said fade away over the next day or so.

They don't always fade away right away.

He was still dealing with back spasms despite trying to return to that last game in the second half.

His back was giving him trouble.

He noticed the Nuggets were pulling away.

He decided, hey, let's just play it safe.

But he's good to go.

He was able to practice today.

So just kind of something that comes and goes for Cam Johnson, like that intermittent ankle issue he dealt with earlier in the season.
