The story of the regular season
With the injuries to MPJ and Murray, the Denver Nuggets needed a healthy Will Barton, and they got that for the most part. His 71 games played were his most since the 2017-2018 season, and the 71 games started were the most in his career.
Barton finished the season tallying the second-most minutes per game while being Denver’s third-leading scorer at 14.7 PPG. Much has been said about Barton’s shooting consistency, but his scoring numbers remained fairly steady throughout the season. His highest scoring month was November at 16.
