Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Faces uncertain timeline for return
Nuggets head coach David Adelman suggested Monday that Strawther (lower back) isn't close to returning to action, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports. "He's been doing minimal movement stuff," Adelman said. "He was on the exercise machines [Monday]. I think it's just a process of the [medicine] working and then seeing where it leads to, just through activity. [But] not basketball activity or physicality."
Strawther will miss his eighth straight game Monday against the Mavericks, and given the lack of progress in his recovery from an injury that the Nuggets are labeling as "lower back injury management," the third-year wing appears unlikely to play at any point during Denver's four-game week. The timing of the injury is unfortunate for Strawther, who likely would have had a chance to stake a claim to a rotation spot while Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Christian Braun (ankle) are facing long-term absences.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Logs 11 minutes in win
Strawther provided six points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 122-88 victory over New Orleans.
Strawther logged a season-high 11 minutes, continuing what has been a quiet start for the score-first guard. Despite averaging a career-high 21.3 minutes during the 2024-25 season, it appears as though Strawther has slipped down the pecking order, likely as a result of the addition of Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway. At this point, Strawther seems destined to serve as a depth piece, rather than a meaningful part of the rotation.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Notches six points
Strawther registered six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal in 18 minutes during Sunday's 125-93 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
After playing a minimal role as a rookie, Strawther made considerable strides in his second season. Across 65 regular-season appearances, Strawther produced 9.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 21.3 minutes. It will be interesting to see what changes happen in Denver this offseason, but Strawther may have positioned himself for a larger role in 2025-26.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Second-half heroics fuel victory
Strawther finished with 15 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and two rebounds over 20 minutes during Thursday's 119-107 victory over Oklahoma City in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Strawther had easily his best game of the postseason, scoring all 15 of his points during the second half, fueling what was an impressive victory for the Nuggets. With Jamal Murray dealing with an illness, Strawther took it upon himself to springboard the win, an encouraging sign given how little we have seen of him during the playoffs. Denver will now head to Oklahoma City for Game 7, with both teams feeling they have something to prove.

Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Sees floor in blowout loss
Strawther provided zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and one block across 11 minutes during Thursday's 117-83 loss to the Clippers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Strawther saw his first game action during the first round in Thursday's blowout loss, though he didn't make much of an impact. The 23-year-old forward could step into the rotation if Michael Porter (shoulder) is sidelined for Game 4, though Strawther isn't guaranteed playing time moving forward.
