Nuggets' Julian Strawther: Sent to G League

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.
