The Athletic’s Sam Amick joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross on Thursday morning to share his observations from Denver Nuggets training camp, relay the latest updates on the James Harden saga, and much more.

Amick also dives into the top storyline from the Sacramento Kings’ preseason, the status of new forward Sasha Vezenkov.

Why is Vezenkov currently out of head coach Mike Brown’s rotation? Could Vezenkov’s push for a rotation spot make other players better in the process?
