After missing the Denver Nuggets last ten games with mono, forward Juancho Hernangomez could return to the team’s lineup Saturday night versus the Orlando Magic. Hernangomez was upgraded to questionable on the Nuggets official injury report.
Hernangomez was diagnosed with mononucleosis on Oct. 24 and did not travel with the team on their four-game East Coast road trip the next day. The 22-year-old played in Denver’s first two games this season but didn’t fare well. He went scoreless against both Utah and Sacramento, took only one field goal attempt across both games and didn’t record a rebound, assist, steal or block in 13 total minutes.
