The Denver Nuggets begin at least one month without star center Nikola Jokic because of a hyperextended left knee when they visit the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.
Jamal Shead scored 19 points, Brandon Ingram added 17 and the Toronto Raptors overcame a 21-point, second-quarter deficit to beat the Orlando Magic 107-106 on Monday night.
The Toronto Raptors are going all-in on the purple. Wednesday's season opener was the return of Toronto's old-school purple throwback uniforms, a nod to the early 2000s Vince Carter era of the team.
