Adam Maras is out this week, but we'll be back with us next week.

So for today's episode, I have, there's a two-part episode.

I talked to Chris Dempsey from Altitude, and the first part of our discussion, which is in this episode, is about the nuggets and the bubble and Yokic and what's going on there.

And this was recorded before Friday's media availability with Michael Malone and Paul

Millsap.

There's been no change on that.

There's been no change in the nuggets or the Yokic situation.

He's still expected, quote, in the next few days, which is super annoying because all of us are like, does that mean five days or two days or three days?

There's an expectation he's going to be with the Nuggets by the end of the weekend.

If that's confirmed, I'll do another episode and we'll talk about what we know at that point with Joker.

So the first part of our episode is just Dempsey and I talking about his career a little bit

and the Nuggets and where they're at and what he expects from them inside the bubble.

Part two, which will go up, I believe, probably on Sunday going into Monday, is with Chris

talking about his experience as being a black

journalist in Denver and given the state of Black Lives Matter and how important that is

with the NBA but also just for the country. I want to get Chris's thoughts on that. I asked

Chris if he'd be willing to talk about it and he was. And so we had a really insightful and open

and honest conversation about it that I really enjoyed.

And I'm really thankful for Chris for being willing to talk about these kind of things with me.
