The Nuggets are in big trouble with their injury situation; there’s no way to sugarcoat it. But when positive has already come out of the extra opportunities, and that’s DaRon Holmes looking like a legit NBA rotation player. Fans have been begging to see Holmes get a chance, and finally, after the latest injury to Nikola Jokic, they got their wish.
Holmes was a key part of the rotation on Wednesday night and was thrust into crunch-time action after yet another injury, this time to Jonas Valanciunas. Holmes is definitely still raw, but he also definitely belongs in the league.
