Nuggets’ guard Monte Morris saw first-hand how devastating injuries could be to a title run last season.
And given what was bound to be asked of him this upcoming season, Morris wasn’t going to be an impediment to Denver’s chances. So he had a nagging knee injury addressed.
Tendinitis, as Morris described it, had been plaguing him ever since he made it to the NBA in 2017. Though no surgery was required, Morris underwent focused rehabilitation and medical management this summer, a league source told The Denver Post, that lasted around 10 weeks. Morris said he’s returned to physical contact and is well on his way to mending with training camp set to start next week.
