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.
Jordan returned to the hardwood after not playing in Denver's previous two preseason games. The veteran big man is expected to be a depth option off the bench and will likely be the third- or fourth-string center, with Dario Saric and Zeke Nnaji competing for the backup role behind Nikola Jokic.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Staying in Denver
Rotowire
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.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Muted role again Tuesday
Rotowire
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.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Starting against Portland
Rotowire
Jordan is in the starting lineup to face the Trail Blazers on Saturday.
Jordan will get the starting nod at center due to the absence of Nikola Jokic (hip). Jordan has made just one start this season for the Nuggets, and he hasn't made much of an impact overall. In 30 appearances, he's averaging just 4.0 points and 4.4 rebounds across 11.2 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Jordan (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Probable for Friday
Rotowire
Jordan is probable for Friday's game against the Kings due to left foot soreness.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Ejected from Sunday's matchup
Rotowire
Jordan was ejected from Sunday's game against the Pacers after being assessed two technical fouls, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Jordan came off the bench in Sunday's matchup and was tossed from the game with 8:48 remaining in the fourth quarter. He was held scoreless with two rebounds and an assist in seven minutes prior to his departure, and it seems unlikely that his ejection will lead to further discipline.
Jordan posted six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 14 minutes during Friday's 125-113 victory over the Pelicans.
Jordan cobbled together another serviceable performance Friday, grabbing at least six rebounds for the fifth straight game. Although he is not even in the rotation on some nights, Jordan provides the Nuggets with a veteran backup behind Nikola Jokic. His fantasy value is basically non-existent outside of streaming him when Jokic is slated to miss time for one reason or another.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Near double-double off bench
Rotowire
Jordan ended with nine points (2-4 FG, 5-10 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 114-106 win over Chicago.
Nikola Jokic was ejected in the first half, so Jordan saw extended playing time and made the most of it. The 35-year-old backup has been solid when given an opportunity this season, but his production is correlated to Jokic's availability.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Shifting back to bench
Rotowire
Jordan won't start Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Jordan will rejoin the reserves for Wednesday's tilt since Nikola Jokic (back) is healthy after a one-game absence. Considering Jordan has appeared in merely three games this season, he should handle a limited role for the contest.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Turns back clock in old arena
Rotowire
Jordan recorded 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-11 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 113-104 victory over the Clippers.
Jordan drew the start in place of Nikola Jokic (back), and Clippers fans got a dose of nostalgia as they watched Jordan and Reggie Jackson pick apart their old team. Although it's been six years since Jordan last donned a Clippers uniform, he looked as aggressive as ever. His drive-and-dunks off of Jackson's passes were reminiscent of the old-school days in the Staples Center. Jordan is buried in the depth chart, and Jackson will join him soon, but it was a nice moment for the duo.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Draws start Monday
Rotowire
Jordan is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Clippers.
Jordan earns the start over Zeke Nnaji, who hasn't exceeded an 18-minute workload this season. However, both players will factor into Denver's frontcourt rotation with Nikola Jokic (back) and Aaron Gordon (heel) out. Jordan has started eight games dating back to the beginning of last season, averaging 6.9 points and 9.4 rebounds in 26.2 minutes per game.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Moves back to bench Thursday
Rotowire
Jordan is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Clippers.
The Nuggets decided to start most of their regulars in the final preseason contest, so Jordan is among several players who will head back to the bench here. The veteran big man recorded eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 116-103 loss to the Clippers.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Racks up nine rebounds
Rotowire
Jordan logged eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 116-103 loss to the Clippers.
Jordan became a star with the Clippers, so there was a small revenge element against his former team in Tuesday's loss. Jordan will compete with Zeke Nnaji and Peyton Watson as the backup to Nikola Jokic, and his veteran presence should be valuable. Even at 35 years old, the 6-foot-11 center has retained his trademark aggressiveness and rebounding ability. Although he's not a draft target, he'll be a solid waiver wire pickup if Jokic suffers an injury at some point during the season.
