More on this storyline
The injury comes with implications in the Western Conference race, as Denver has been willing to lean on rookies for major minutes on their contending roster in recent seasons. Holmes, who averaged 20.4 points and 8.5 rebounds at Dayton and made 38.5% of his 3s last season, was viewed by the Nuggets as a potential immediate contributor, according to sources. -via ESPN.com / July 18, 2024
Vinny Benedetto: Nuggets just announced DaRon Holmes II had right Achilles repair surgery this morning in Denver. Dr. Kenneth Hunt was the surgeon at UCHealth Steadman Hawkins Clinic. -via Twitter @VBenedetto / July 15, 2024
Harrison Wind: Losing DaRon Holmes is a blow to Denver’s depth, which the Nuggets figured to rely on more this year. Dario Saric and Vlatko Cancar will need to soak up minutes. Denver can apply for disabled player exception, which likely won’t be that useful due to Holmes’ low salary. -via Twitter @HarrisonWind / July 13, 2024
