Julian Strawther News, Rumors, Updates - Denver Nuggets

Muted role continues Strawther registered zero points (0-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one assist and one steal over 11 minutes during Monday's 135-112 win over Utah.

Impact Strawther continues to work his way back from injury, albeit very, very slowly. In three games since returning, Strawther has scored a total of four points, serving as nothing more than a depth piece. Although his role could increase at some point, it is unlikely he will see enough playing time to make him a viable fantasy asset outside of deeper formats.

Good to go Monday Strawther (back) has been cleared to play Monday against the Rockets.

Impact Strawther was listed on the injury report as questionable after missing 12 straight games with a back injury, but he's been given the green light to suit up Monday evening. He'll presumably be on some sort of restriction in his first game back.

Practices Sunday Nuggets head coach David Adelman said that Strawther "went pretty hard" at Sunday's practice and he's hopeful that Strawther will be able to return sometime this upcoming week.

Impact Strawther has been taking contact and ramping up his workload at recent practices, so he appears to be on the cusp of a return. Adelman said he will check with the Denver medical staff on Strawther's status ahead of Monday's matchup with the Rockets, so for now, Strawther should be considered questionable for that one.

Not playing Thursday Strawther (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Kings.

Not close to a return Strawther (back) remains without a timetable to return, Ryan Blackburn of MileHighSports.com reports.

Impact Strawther will miss his eighth straight game Monday night, and he has made little progress in his recovery from the back issue. "He's been doing like minimal movement stuff," said head coach David Adelman when asked for an update on Strawther. "At this moment, I really don't have any update on him. He just woke up with pain and then it just, you know, got considerably worse to the point where anybody that's had back issues? I have. it sucks. Like, you can't do anything. No mobility, so we're just trying to work our way through it." Strawther should be considered week-to-week until the Nuggets provide a timetable for his return.
