Denver Nuggets guard Julian Strawther suffered a left leg injury during the team’s preseason game Wednesday at the LA Clippers.

This season brings his biggest challenge. Reviving Super Bowl expectations for a team that has everyone from Trinidad to LoDo to Wellington whispering. Can Payton pull this off? Don’t be surprised if he does.

“We all see DaRon, his effort level,” David Adelman said. “He’s in amazing shape. Shoots the hell out of the ball. For me, it’s more about what’s the best chance for him, and right now, I think that’s the five.”
