The Denver Nuggets are eager to see DaRon Holmes II return as he is set to participate in the Summer League following a lengthy recovery from a torn right Achilles tendon. Drafted 22nd overall last year, Holmes is viewed as a critical addition due to his size, defensive skills, and perimeter shooting ability, which impressed the Nuggets' management before his injury. He is expected to take on both forward and center roles during the games, aiming to showcase his versatility and regain his rhythm after his injury.

While Holmes is likely to face some rust, his commitment to improvement and readiness to embrace any position on the court are encouraging signs for the Nuggets. His recent training and shooting performance have maintained optimism that he can contribute significantly this season.
