DENVER — The Denver Nuggets, led by two-time reigning MVP Nikola Jokic, will appear on national television 16 times during the upcoming 2022-23 NBA regular season, according to the schedule released Wednesday.
With Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. returning after injuries that caused Murray to miss the entire season and limited Porter Jr. to just nine games, anything less than an extended playoff run for the NBA Finals hopefuls will leave fans disappointed.
However, only DirecTV customers are able to watch the majority of games on Altitude TV, which is televising 74 regular season games, as its dispute with Comcast enters its third year.
The stalemate between Altitude and Comcast started in Aug. 2019, when Altitude's contracts with Comcast, DISH Network and DirecTV expired at the same time. To date, DirecTV is the only major provider that has worked out an agreement with Altitude.
