During the third quarter of the Denver Nuggets home opener against the Phoenix Suns Will Barton made a nice move to the basket to get an easy reverse layup. Unfortunately, when he landed Barton was in considerable pain and grabbing his groin/hip area. There was no contact to Barton on the play but he immediately went to the floor, was unable get up and had to leaved the court on a cart. Vic Lombardi with Altitude Sports updated during the broadcast that Barton suffered a right hip injury and will not return to the game.
