Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Shut down for Summer League
Rotowire
The Nuggets announced Tuesday that Strawther will not play for the remainder of the Summer League, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
Strawther hasn't suffered any injury but will sit out the remainder of the Summer League after impressing in his first two outings, averaging 28.5 points. The second-year forward will now allow younger and more inexperienced players to receive increased playing time while he focuses on working toward a more consistent role in Denver's rotation in 2024-25.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Goes for 32 in SL
Rotowire
Strawther went for 32 points (10-21 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 6-10 FT), five assists, three rebounds, one steal and a block in 34 minutes during Sunday's 84-81 loss to the Raptors at Summer League.
Strawther has been impressive offensively in two Summer League appearances, averaging 28.5 points per game. The Gonzaga product seems to be dealing with a minor ankle injury, so it wouldn't be surprising if he is shut down for the remainder of Summer League considering his performance to this point. Strawther could play his way into the rotation this year if he continues to produce offensively, especially with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope departing for Orlando.
Strawther (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game versus Minnesota.
Strawther has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday despite dealing with a sprained right ankle. Strawther could continue to provide depth in Denver's forward rotation.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Returns to lineup Monday
Rotowire
Strawther provided 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Monday's 128-103 win over the Grizzlies.
Strawther tallied 14 points in the victory, more than he had scored across the past three months combined. It's fair to say this performance should be viewed as an outlier given he has not even been in the rotation of late.
Denver recalled Strawther from the G League's Grand Rapids Gold on Wednesday.
Strawther and Jalen Pickett were both recalled ahead of Wednesday's matchup versus the Kings, but with Denver's rotation at full strength, neither is expected to see extensive playing time. Strawther has played more than seven minutes just once since Jan. 1.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Ruled out for Wednesday
Rotowire
Strawther (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
The ankle injury will force Strawther to the sidelines for Denver's final game heading into the All-Star break, but he may be ready to return for next Thursday's game against Washington. With Jamal Murray (tibia), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) and Strawther all unavailable for Wednesday's game, Christian Braun could see some decent run in the rotation.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Dealing with ankle sprain
Rotowire
Strawther is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings due to a left ankle sprain.
After not appearing in 16 straight NBA games, Strawther has gotten action in back-to-back matchups, though both games were blowout losses. Jamal Murray (lower leg) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) are both questionable but not expected to play, so if Strawther is also unavailable, Denver's backcourt would be shorthanded.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Sent to G League
Rotowire
The Nuggets assigned Strawther (knee) to the G League's Grand Rapids Gold on Saturday, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
After missing nearly a month of action with a sprained and bruised right knee, Strawther was finally cleared for action Friday. However, head coach Michael Malone elected to hold Strawther out of the rotation for Friday's 120-108 win over the Trail Blazers, so the rookie will now head to the G League to get minutes. He could need multiple games in the G League to get fully ramped up before the Nuggets are more comfortable with reintegrating him on the second unit.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Strawther (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Strawther has been unavailable since early January due to a right knee contusion and sprain, but it's encouraging that he's considered questionable for Friday's matchup rather than being immediately ruled out. Even if he's able to suit up against Portland, it wouldn't be surprising to see him face a significant minutes restriction.
