DaRon Holmes II had a strong start in his first professional game during the Las Vegas Summer League on Friday night, but unfortunately, it concluded with the rookie having to exit the court due to a torn Achilles.

Holmes is expected to sit out the entire 2024-25 NBA season after only playing 25 minutes for the Nuggets.

Despite the setback, he managed to contribute 11 points and seven rebounds in Denver’s 88-78 defeat against the Clippers.
