Sluggish performance Wednesday

Johnson played through a minor shoulder concern, albeit unproductively. It's been an underwhelming start to his career in Denver, averaging just 8.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.3 three-pointers in 25.7 minutes per game. While he will almost certainly be better than this moving forward, it appears as though it could be a down season when compared to what he has done in Brooklyn over the past three years.

Muted role continues

Jones played no more than six minutes for the fourth straight game, scoring his first basket of the season. Denver is poised to make a deep push this season, limiting the opportunities for players such as Jones. Don't expect to see him playing meaningful minutes, outside of injury-related absences to other players.

Logs 11 minutes in win

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.
