Losing DaRon Holmes is a blow to Denver’s depth, which the Nuggets figured to rely on more this year. Dario Saric and Vlatko Cancar will need to soak up minutes. Denver can apply for a disabled player exception, which likely won’t be that useful due to Holmes’ low salary. – 1:25 AM

Nuggets first round pick DaRon Holmes suffered a torn Achilles according to league sources. Holmes walked out on crutches after the Nuggets game against the Clippers. It’s a crushing loss for Nuggets’ depth. – 1:13 AM

So very sad for DaRon Holmes. An Achilles is a brutal injury to suffer in your first steps into NBA competition. It won’t be a quick road back, but he’s on a squad with guys who know how to rehab unfortunately. Hoping for his complete recovery even though his NBA start is delayed – 1:03 AM

Not much you can say about DaRon Holmes tearing his Achilles in his first Summer League game. It’s devastating. Heartbreaking. You feel for Holmes, who the Nuggets loved, traded up for in the 1st round, and had a chance to play real minutes this season. Just terrible. – 1:03 AM

DaRon Holmes leaves the Nuggets’ Summer League opener with a lower right leg injury. Didn’t look like his twisted his ankle or anything on replay but came up limping. Solid debut for the rookie before the injury. – 12:19 AM

DaRon Holmes is banged up and needing medical attention so he forced himself out and a couple of plays later it looks like Julian Strawther also injured himself and is headed to the medical tent.
Not what you want to see of course. – 12:19 AM

DaRon Holmes appears to have tweaked his ankle. He’s limping off the floor. I thought he started the game slow but was starting to find a groove on both ends of the court. – 12:16 AM

It’s a tie game at 35 with 97 seconds left in 1st half.
A big part of defense is KYP right… DaRon Holmes gave up a closeout drive to Terry Taylor. Holmes will learn that there is no need to urgently prevent Taylor from shooting from 20+ feet – 11:24 PM

That one-timer pass from PJ Hall was sick. DaRon Holmes pays it off with a three. – 11:23 PM

Expected Nuggets starters for tonight’s Summer League opener:
Jalen Pickett
Julian Strawther
Hunter Tyson
DaRon Holmes
PJ Hall
Look for heavy doses of Trey Alexander off the bench too. He’s impressed in practices this week. – 9:12 PM
