DaRon Holmes suffered a torn Achilles during the Denver Nuggets' summer league opener against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Holmes is likely to miss the entire 2024-25 season.

The Nuggets drafted Holmes with the 22nd pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.

Letting KCP walk was karmic. So sad for Joker. And he’s not the type to ask out …

Sux to blow ur prime years for the Kroenkes

the reports that say he was going to be a part of their team this season seems fanciful. Calvin Booth said the same thing about Peyton Watson after they lost Bruce Brown and he didn't even contribute in the playoffs coming off a second season.

That doesnt mean he wouldnt be part of the rotation. lots of solid players get benched when the rotation shrinks to 8 guys.

the context is they have lost two high end role players in free agency in the last two seasons and Booth expects them to be replaced with mid-late first rounders, again fanciful stuff.

1) Watson was part of the regular season rotation - he played in 80 games & averaged almost 19 mins per. And it was Malone who chose not to play him in the playoffs. He had his reasons for better or worse. Watson's game more resembles Gordon's than Brown's tho. The guy who was supposed to fill in for Brown was Braun ... and we all kno how that's pronounced

2) It wlda bn silly for Dener to match Indy's bloated offer. And Booth likely wasn't in a position to bc ...

3) Stan Kroenke own the Nuggets. This is who u shld be pointing fingers at. Booth is limited in what he can do. Obviously they weren't gonna match Indy's offer for Brown and they cldnt get to a number the Kroenke's were comfortable with for KCP.

it's not so much that Booth said "we don't need Brown or KCP, we've got guys o the bench who are jus as good." He called both "big losses." With KCP specifically bc according to reports, they weren't far off of ORL's number, Kroenke jus cheaped out. Again, sux for Joker that they're not taking full advantage of his prime years

Analysts didn’t have this kid as a first rounder, even in a weak draft. He should be kissing the feet of Booth & Co for the guaranteed contract as he rehabs a potential life altering injury.
