LAS VEGAS — As the Denver Nuggets approached the start of their first game in Las Vegas for Summer League there was a strange sight. Juancho Hernangomez, who is already a goofy personality, was wearing Horace Grant-style goggles.
The look is undeniably fantastic but it came to be known, through Christopher Dempsey of Altitude Sports, that Hernangomez recently had a Lasik procedure on his left eye to repair his vision after getting scratched. He is still recovering and had no choice but to play with the goggles on.
“I got scratched. Got a finger in my eye and a cut it a little bit so I got Lasik surgery,” Hernangomez explained.
