掘金周四客场揭幕战挑战雷霆：约基奇对决两届常规赛MVP亚历山大
位于美国科罗拉多州的丹佛掘金（市县合一的丹佛市为球队主场所在地）将于周四（10月22日）迎来2026-27赛季常规赛首战，客场挑战俄克拉荷马城雷霆。比赛于东部时间晚9时30分在俄克拉荷马城的 Paycom Center 举行，由 ESPN 全美直播；掘金是全联盟最晚打响揭幕战的球队。
本场焦点是两位MVP的直接对话。雷霆后卫 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 是连续两届常规赛MVP，他曾在2025年率雷霆击败印第安纳步行者夺得总冠军，并荣膺总决赛MVP。掘金核心 Nikola Jokic 是三届常规赛MVP、2023年总冠军成员。雷霆已在周二的赛季首战中客场击败圣安东尼奥马刺，本场是雷霆新赛季的主场首秀。
伤情方面，掘金前锋 Spencer Jones 在训练营初期拉伤左腿筋，缺席了全部季前赛；他已在周日参加球队对抗训练，并表示预计能赶上揭幕战，不过周三的官方伤情报告仍将他列为出战成疑。掘金后卫 Julian Strawther 在10月14日季前赛对阵洛杉矶快船时扭伤左膝，将在六周后复查，确定缺席揭幕战。

Nuggets Open Their Season Thursday at the Thunder: Jokic Faces Two-Time MVP Gilgeous-Alexander
The Denver Nuggets, based in the consolidated city-county of Denver, Colorado, play their 2026-27 regular-season opener on Thursday, October 22, visiting the Oklahoma City Thunder. Tip-off is 9:30 p.m. ET at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, on ESPN; Denver is the last team in the league to open its season.
The matchup pairs two MVPs. Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the reigning two-time regular-season MVP; in 2025 he led Oklahoma City past the Indiana Pacers to the NBA title and was named Finals MVP. Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is a three-time regular-season MVP and a 2023 NBA champion. Oklahoma City already won its season opener at San Antonio on Tuesday, making Thursday its home opener.
On injuries, Nuggets forward Spencer Jones strained his left hamstring early in training camp and missed the entire preseason. He scrimmaged in Sunday's practice and said he expects to be available for the opener, though Wednesday's official injury report still listed him as questionable. Nuggets guard Julian Strawther sprained his left knee in the October 14 preseason game against the Los Angeles Clippers, will be re-evaluated in six weeks, and is out for the opener.
