Nuggets guard Julian Strawther will miss at least four weeks after spraining his left knee Sunday in Boston, the team announced Tuesday.
Strawther, who turns 23 in April, is averaging 9.4 points and 2.2 rebounds off the bench this season. He’s shooting 43.4% from the field and 35.7% from the 3-point line, a 6% improvement from his rookie year. A Rising Stars Game participant at All-Star weekend last month, he played in all 61 of the Nuggets’ games before the injury.
Strawther had to be helped to his feet by teammates after landing awkwardly during the third quarter of Denver’s 110-103 loss to the Celtics on Sunday.
