The Denver Nuggets drafted up in the 2024 NBA Draft for DaRon Holmes II, excited about his potential and the depth he'd give behind Nikola Jokiu0107. That hype was short-lived, as Holmes suffered a torn right Achilles tendon in the Nuggets' first summer league game in Las Vegas. Holmes recovered during the 2024-25 season, watching from the sidelines.
Now, the 23-year-old is entering what's officially his first season. He had a strong summer league showing, bouncing back from the injury that kept him out for a year.
Denver addressed its need for depth this summer, somehow adding backup center Jonas Valanu010diu016bnas.
