Julian Strawther Sidelined Six Weeks with Left Knee Sprain

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Julian Strawther suffered a left knee sprain during Wednesday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Clippers. An MRI confirmed the injury, and he will be re-evaluated in six weeks, delaying his season debut until December. Strawther averaged 7.2 points on a career-high 46.7 field goal percentage and 38.7 three-point percentage across 57 games last season. The injury leaves the Nuggets shorthanded on the perimeter heading into their season opener.
