[Charania] Denver Nuggets No. 22 overall pick DaRon Holmes II has suffered a torn right Achilles tendon, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. He’s expected to miss the 2024-25 season. Devastating blow for one of the Nuggets’ promising young pieces.
terrible news. he was swishing 3s prior to coming out of the game tonight
Nuggets bros do not deserve this. Prayers to Holmes!

Nooooooo! One of my favorite prospects, was thinking he’d get some immediate minutes off that Denver bench. Awful news, hope he recovers quickly.

That’s devastating for the kid.

Damn so sad for the Dayton legend😥

Man, I really liked him coming into the draft. This fucking sucks. Hope he’s able to get back to 100%.
ImTheBestNerd
That’s so unfortunate. Thought he was a perfect fit for Denver, really liked the pick. Tearing your Achilles this early is so fucked.
JimmyV34
Bro he was so good during the game too smh

Fuck man, I thought he was going to a really solid player.

Damn I was high on him, that’s brutal

Really hoped it wasn’t going to be a tear but didn’t look good at all during the game. Hate seeing injuries during any game but especially during summer league rookie year.
Legendtner
Damn that’s already the second rookie out for the season if i’m correct. This class lowkey cursed already.

devastating man, he had a real role as a backup big, i was praying the nuggets drafted him and now this, the backup big rotation is now saric, deandre jordan and zeke nnaji

You have to be fucking kidding me

Holmes was already considered by many to be in danger of being too much of a tweener on defense and if tearing his Achilles causes him to lose some athleticism that might already be curtains for his NBA career before it even properly began. Really hoping that isn’t the case for him.

Mother. Fucker. I was insanely hyped to see DaRon play and that is a nasty injury. Rest up big guy.
Victorcreedbratton
What the fuck.

That’s a devastating injury

Just brutal brutal luck for the Nuggets, but more importantly for Holmes himself.
Achilles aren’t the death sentence they used to be, but that’s gonna wipe out at least a year and possibly more.
Fuck this sucks.
WholeWideHeart
You hate to see it. Such an awful way to start his career. Poor kid.
Son_of_Atreus
Holy shit. They traded up for this guy as he was a NEEDED player for this squad.
I guess all the Zeke Nnaji slander needs to be shelved.

Kroenke: ah crap. I have to pay this guy?

Week 18 post-op for my own Achilles repair. I’m still unable to walk on my tip-toes or do 3 full calf-raises on that leg. It’s not the most painful injury I’ve ever had, but the slow recovery grinds you down hard.
Background: Mine happened jogging in a straight line at a moderate pace. No twisting/jumping/cutting. Just felt like someone kicked me in the back of the calf and I went down. Suddenly unable to point my toes. Surgery 5 days later because they didn’t want to risk it retracting.
Much love to the big guy. It’s a long road back.

Feel bad for the Nugs and fans. Sucks for the rook. Hope he can come.back strong.
