Yet another NBA team struck by illness this time it is the Denver Nuggets.

According to Brendan Vogt of DNVR, there appears to be an illness spreading throughout the Nuggets' locker room, now having struck at least four players on the roster, including Jamal Murray, which was why he was held out for Denver's latest game against the Atlanta Hawks.

COMMENT:
.. simply amazing they have narrowed it down to having come from the locker room.. now they just need a diagnosis! They are halfway home!

I guess that's what you call amateur rookie contact tracing...blame  it on the muggy sweaty locker room and go no further than that... now what is the actual illness? perhaps they can try the at home test kits from the local pharmacy because obviously they aren't showing much interest in seeking a doctor right now... at least no one is declaring they went to a doctor yet no word of an authentic diagnoses from a real doctor at this point in time  :o

...a bunch of Do it yourselfers with undetermined viruses.. real smart self diagnosed contact tracing eh?!"It happened in the locker room"! wow brilliant observation.. let's not go to too much trouble or make too much effort in figuring out if its RSV or covid or whatever.. (I say sarcastically :o  ) duh! Enough of my immature mockery and the reflexive aversion I have to imprudence and lack of etiquette I see when it comes to manners and how to behave while being ill.. These sick athletes are hardly the ideal patients and responsible loved ones leading healthy wealthy and wise lives  like we would really like to see...hardly the model of excellence or image we want to imitate or aspire to.. none of us want to get sick...

...Let's get serious now about viruses and contagious illness and some of the real dangers that go along from not getting diagnoses and spreading illness... They are doing themselves and one another a great injustice Let's be modest and earnest about  the true dangers and pains involved with contagious illness here:

Jeesh don't they wanna know what kind of virus it is!? It might be something really bad! Gosh I'm telling you they are throwing each other to the wolves ..to not figure out if you've got covid or RSV is just crazy ..don't spread that undetermined illness around to your loved ones man! learn to 'stand down' soldiers, at least for the sake of your loved ones when it comes to viruses! Get real! ye are in the realm of butt kicking viruses.. you already lost that match. If you have a conscience, You can't beat a contagious virus that you give to your mom, your pop, or your friends..game over!

Lets’s envision what really happens when most of us get sick.. a behind the scenes perspective…Once you get sick with an undiagnosed illness the sky is the limit and you are host to an illness that may get worse and even make you your loved ones suffer like nothing else. Now it's a waiting game of wondering and worrying what will happen next will the suffering skyrocket!? Will ya get better or worse!? Is it just a little cold or is it going to be long covid.. Is this the big one!?  Are you in real trouble?.. what about those closest to you? You thought you were invincible but now you don't feel so great ..These viruses can get nasty and ugly man! You gotta know that when you run around with an undetermined illness you might be putting your loved one in the hospital by the end of the week for all you know and that's just the truth of matter. An undetermined undiagnosed illness is a scary, scary thing as you have no idea what your messing with and if your loved ones will get infected or anything, a living nightmare not to know what to do or how to protect loved ones or kids from an undiagnosed mysterious illness.. I feel for you. That must be horrible to live with not knowing what you might give to another.

A true living nightmare!Hope their loved ones don't get sick and they have to race their baby to the hospital in an ambulance and go through that hell. That's scary man! True horror to know you host an unknown virus! It is a cruel world  we live in that makes  us look at our own sick contagious body and realize  that simply by  breathing on your baby or your loved one could make them suffer just like you is truly a horrible experience we wish upon no one. Being ill and giving an illness or a disease that might carry longterm repercussions  to an innocent significant other is like inadvertently hurting, hitting, or abusing a woman, child or elderly loved one or something..

I can't stand to see my loved one's suffer pain and agony from illness especially a mysterious illness. It's horrible. When you are sick and contagious  it's like being the main character, in an Edgar Allen Poe horror story. When you have a contagious illness or contagious disease, it's like having the Midas touch only instead of you touching things and making them  turn to gold people get sick or diseased when you touch them!

What is missing in almost all discussions concerning viruses is  LOVE.. Viruses equal suffering and its all about protecting loved ones.. when we love people we want them happy and not hurting.. and so the biggest most important factor about viruses that is never talked about enough is love... we don't talk about love & caring, and conscience enough. We care about what we love .. we sort of feel what our loved ones feel.. we are affected by one another.  Love is everything. It's why we live..it makes the world go around.. our love for life and our love for others keeps us alive and so if you love yourself and you love others you avoid things like viruses that make you hurt or loved ones hurt. Love is most important and vital to health! Make attempts to not make loved ones sick. Love is important and it is natural to protect loved ones from injury and illness.

I'm not afraid to admit that the reason I mask is because I love myself, the way that I am, and I love others,

This is the 2026 US Sports Illness thread, which will be for the tracking of illness within sports teams or individual sports players and will cover all sports. Bookmark this thread in your browser as it will constantly be updated with any news stories or social media post regarding illness of a sports player or even multiple players on a team. Any player positive for Covid will have their name highlighted, which will link you to their Covid case information in the positive for Covid archive. Anyone who finds news about a sports player who is ill can add it to this thread. This thread is for sports players who can not play because they are sick or have some sort of illness, and not sports players who become injured playing their sport.

There may be cases where a player is sick but still plays or becomes sick while playing that will be documented as well.
