How the Nuggets will spend the All-Star break, from Cabo to the 3-point contest to quality time with man’s best friend.

“We are not in a state of denial,” general manager Josh Byrnes said.

“You don’t want to peak too early and hit kind of the downslope of it,” Johnson said. “So if these injuries happen now, it’s better than them happening in April.”
