DENVER (AP) — Denver Nuggets guard/forward Julian Strawther will be out indefinitely after spraining his left knee while playing a preseason game at the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday.
The Nuggets said Friday night that Strawther will be re-evaluated in six weeks. He was projected to come off the bench for Denver this season.
