Holmes’ Quiet Comeback Push | Denver News

DaRon Holmes II, the big man for the Denver Nuggets, isn’t playing in Summer League this year—but he’s not idle. Left off the roster, he’s still grinding, practicing and hunting pickup games, staying focused on growth while trusting the team’s plan.

Execs like Jon Wallace praise his shooting, conditioning, and mental resilience, noting his G League stint helped him master spacing and system. With the roster reshaped by cap constraints, Holmes may get more chances—and he’s laser-focused on defense, spacing, and earning his minutes through relentless work.
