The Denver Nuggets’ matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night proved to be one of the best games of the season, for multiple reasons. Not only did Nikola Jokic win the battle of the MVPs by coming away with the win against Joel Embiid while putting together an impressive stat line, but Bones Hyland also had a fantastic homecoming performance in front of hundreds of his family and friends from Delaware.
As most fans know, Hyland endured a very traumatic experience while in high school after his house caught fire. The incident led to the tragic and heartbreaking death of Hyland’s 11-month-old cousin and grandmother.
