  3. Grade 2 hamstring tear, which is a partial muscle tear, typically requires 4 to 8 weeks for recovery. Healing involves significant pain and reduced mobility, usually requiring physical therapy. Athletes may return to play sooner (approx. 35 days) with intensive rehab, though premature return risks re-injury.

  4. So probably like 6 weeks, maybe less if we’re really lucky, possibly more if we’re really unlucky. Unfortunately what we kinda expected

  6. Shout out Tony Jones doesn’t even cover the team anymore and still manages to be the top Nuggets reporter lol

  7. There’s no guarantee he won’t aggravate it again either when he comes back. This season is just from straight hell and it sucks because of the depth. AG also had a grade 2 hammy in the okc series and he needed the whole off season to recover but it didn’t matter.

  8. This is a season from hell. No other way to put it. Everything was setup for championship contention. Not that we don’t have a shot. But we’ve taken body blow after body blow all year. Insane

  9. This team is going nowhere this season. Just too many injuries. Sucks that the best team since the title is gonna go to waste with another early exit

  11. Are all of these injuries do to the Nuggets schedule? There definitely seems to be a lot around the league lately.

  15. At what point does the finger need to be pointed at the medical staff? Sure, some of this is flukey, but the soft tissue injuries seem to stem from training and conditioning issues. 

  16. When one or two guys comes back to action, another one goes down with an injury.

    Cant get a break.

  18. Listen I’m a dumbass, I don’t know shit about how it works when it comes to workouts and the training crew but isn’t there a point where you can kinda point your finger at some of the staff not doing their fuckin job? There’s bad injury luck and there is this.

  23. I’ve never seen anything like this. Adelman, Ben Wallace, and Josh need to take a hard look at the strength and conditioning team

  26. Well, at least we don’t have to worry about his price tag as much now. Missing months due to injury will wear some of that shine off.

  29. Dude, I tried to avoid talks about incompetence, but are the players warming up? Wtf is this season?

    One, two.. three injuries? like, fine. But it seams every fucking player suffered more or less serious injury..

  37. guys i know this genuinely sucks but if i can offer an optimistic perspective:

    none the injuries we’ve dealt with this season have been season ending. through all of this there is hope and a realistic path towards us being fully available come playoffs. compare this to a team like the rockets who knows deep down this is a lost season without fvv and steven adams. the pacers and celtics with hali and tatum as well, although to a lesser extent since they’ve had the whole summer to digest the unfortunate reality.

    all we can do is lean on the hope we’re lucky enough to still have and keep rooting until we get pwat and ag back. btw – cam return is on the horizon

  39. So is he now going to have hamstring issues for the rest of his career like AG?

    And I will fight anyone who thinks There’s another team with worse injuries than us. This is absolute insanity. No team comes close

  41. My pipe dream of 2 seed plus healthy team entering the playoffs is still *technically* possible. Although it’s looking tougher and tougher

  44. I know our Nugs got shafted big time on the schedule, but doesn’t this many injuries seem odd?

    I am in no way qualified to speak on this, but I’m gonna say it anyway: the boys need YOGA. Yin yoga specifically. You hold positions for up to 15 mins, so an hour class might only have like 5 poses total.

    Unlike active (yang) yoga, Yin focuses on connective tissues like ligaments, tendons, and fascia, rather than toning muscles. Yin uses gravity to gently and slowly break up adhesions, which in turn increases blood flow, strengthens neural pathways, and improves overall flexibility and muscle elasticity.

    I’ll email Dadelman and CC you guys.
