DaRon Holmes Makes First NBA Start for Nuggets Amidst Key Injuries

DaRon Holmes will make his first NBA start for the Denver Nuggets against the Cavaliers on Friday. He is stepping into the starting five due to the absences of Jonas Valanciunas (calf) and Nikola Jokic (knee). Holmes played 22 minutes during the Nuggets' 106-103 win over the Raptors on Wednesday, finishing with 11 points, three rebounds, one assist, and one block. His starting role could persist into late January or early February.
