Denver Nuggets forward DaRon Holmes, the No. 22 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, tore his right Achilles and is likely to miss his entire rookie season, multiple outlets reported Saturday.
The injury occurred Friday night in Las Vegas in the Nuggets' summer league opener, an 88-78 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Dayton product had 11 points and seven rebounds in 26 minutes.
The 6-foot-10 Holmes was selected by the Phoenix Suns and dealt on draft night to the Nuggets for No. 28 pick Ryan Dunn, the No. 56 pick in the 2024 Draft and second-round picks in 2026 and 2031.
Holmes started all 33 games for Dayton as a junior in 2023-24 and averaged 20.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists.
