DaRon Holmes II Fantasy Stats

Denver Nuggets center DaRon Holmes II had 10 points, 11 rebounds, two steals and one assist in 29 minutes during a 101-97 Summer League loss to the Raptors on Tuesday. The 22-year-old finished with a game-high in rebounds, leading to a double-double. Holmes missed his entire rookie season after tearing his right Achilles tendon in his first outing for the Nuggets at the 2024 Summer League in Las Vegas. Now healthy, the 2024 first-round pick will likely see limited minutes during the upcoming season while playing behind Nikola Jokic and Jonas Valanciunas at center.

Denver Nuggets center DaRon Holmes II (Achilles) is expected to miss the 2024-25 campaign. The 21-year-old, selected by Phoenix with the 2024 No. 22 overall pick and immediately acquired by the Nuggets, suffered an Achilles injury during Friday's Summer League loss to the Clippers. He left the arena on crutches, with further testing revealing a tear. Holmes averaged 17.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks in three seasons with the Dayton Flyers and was projected to be the No. 2 center on the depth chart behind reigning MVP Nikola Jokic. But with Holmes out of the equation, Zeke Nnaji is in line for more playing time.
