At least four Denver Broncos were spotted in attendance at the Denver Nuggets’ game on Tuesday evening.
Three of the players — quarterback Russell Wilson, safety Justin Simmons and defensive lineman D.J. Jones — were courtside. Broncos kicker Brandon McManus was also spotted behind the Los Angeles Lakers‘ bench.
Wilson previously attended a home Nuggets game earlier in the playoffs and sat next to wide receiver Tim Patrick, coach Sean Payton and Payton’s wife, Skylene Montgomery. The QB is clearly all-in on Denver sports teams.
After defeating the Lakers last night, the Nuggets will host the Lakers again on Thursday night before traveling to L.A. for Game 3 on Saturday.
Nikola Jokic had a triple-double with 34 points, 21 rebounds and 14 assists in Denver’s 132-126 win on Tuesday.
The winner of the Denver-Los Angeles series in the Western Conference will advance to face the winner of the Eastern Conference series (the Miami Heat or Boston Celtics) in the NBA Finals in June.
Russell Wilson is once again sitting courtside at the Nuggets game, this time for the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers. He’s sitting next to DJ Jones.
