Practicing, but remains out Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said that Holmes (Achilles) was able to participate in portions of Wednesday's practice, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact The No. 22 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Holmes is still expected to miss the entire 2024-25 season while he recovers from the torn right Achilles tendon he suffered in the Las Vegas Summer League in July. That said, the fact that Holmes is back in the court in some capacity bodes well for his chances of being ready to play in Las Vegas when the summer rolls around. If he avoids any setbacks in his rehab program for the rest of the season and throughout the summer, Holmes could open the 2025-26 season as the top backup to starting center Nikola Jokic.

Set for Achilles surgery Holmes announced via social media that he's scheduled to undergo surgery Monday to repair his torn right Achilles' tendon.

Impact The first-round draft pick out of Dayton suffered the injury in his first appearance for the Nuggets on Friday in the Las Vegas Summer League. He'll face a lengthy and arduous recovery process from surgery and is expected to miss the entire 2024-25 season, and his availability for Summer League in 2025 could also be affected. The Nuggets had been hopeful that Holmes would slot in as their top backup to Nikola Jokic during the upcoming season, but Dario Saric, Peyton Watson, DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji now look to be the top contenders to fill frontcourt minutes on the second unit.

Selected No. 22, traded to Denver The Suns selected Holmes with the No. 22 pick in Wednesday's 2024 NBA Draft and traded him to Denver.

Impact Holmes is a skilled low-post scorer, but his lack of quickness and average size tends to be an issue for him on defense. He'll develop his game in Denver, but as long as Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic are healthy, he won't get many in-game reps as a rookie.
