Will DeMar DeRozan play for the Denver Nuggets in Mexico?

The Denver Nuggets head down to Mexico City to take on the Indiana Pacers on Saturday. The game begins at 5 PM ET and will air on NBA TV, ALT2, ALT+, and DANZ-IND.

The Nuggets bounced back from a loss against the Portland Trail Blazers to defeat the Toronto Raptors, 128-109. They are 4-3 on the season, 9th in the West. This begins a four-game road trip for Denver.

The Pacers snapped their five-game losing streak with a 107-103 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in their last contest. They are 3-6 on the season, putting them 9th in the East. This is technically a home game for the Pacers despite it taking place in Mexico City. Really, this is their second game on a three-game road trip.
