Jordan posted four points (2-4 FG), two rebounds and one steal over eight minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 victory over Memphis.
Jordan was dusted off once again, playing minutes as the backup center after Nikola Jokic was once again ruled out due to personal reasons. Primarily serving as a veteran leader in the locker room, there is no reason to think Jordan's role will extend beyond spot minutes when the Nuggets are shorthanded.

Rotowire
Jordan (rest) scored six points (2-3 FG, 2-6 3Pt) while adding nine rebounds and an assist across 17 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 124-94 preseason loss to the Thunder.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Didn't play Sunday
Rotowire
Jordan did not play during Sunday's preseason game against the Suns.
Jordan got a second consecutive game off, which isn't surprising as the team continues to monitor the play of Dario Saric and Zeke Nnaji, who are competing for the backup center role. Jordan will have another opportunity to suit up against the Thunder on Tuesday.
Jordan (rest) won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Celtics in Abu Dhabi, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.
Jordan had limited run in Denver's preseason opener Friday, and he will take Sunday off. Jordan's absence will allow coach Mike Malone a more extended look at Zeke Nnaji and Dario Saric behind Nikola Jokic. Jordan's next opportunity to play will come in next Sunday's exhibition versus the Suns.
Jordan agreed Saturday with the Nuggets on a one-year, $3.6 million deal, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
Jordan will bring veteran leadership to the locker room in Denver while also occasionally mixing into the rotation as a backup at center to three-time MVP Nikola Jokic. During his second season in Denver in 2023-24, Jordan made 36 appearances (two starts) and averaged 3.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.4 blocks in 11.0 minutes per contest.
Jordan accumulated two rebounds in six minutes during Tuesday's 110-105 win over the Spurs.
Jordan played just six minutes in the win, continuing to serve as nothing more than a depth piece. As long as Nikola Jokic is on the floor, Jordan has no fantasy value outside of situational streaming.
