Jones

Injured before training camp began, Jones made his first appearance of the season on Saturday. The Nuggets forward blocked a shot on his first defensive possession and missed only one shot in 21 minutes. With Jones in the rotation, Trevon Brazile (3/4/2 with one three-pointer) played 14 minutes and fellow rookie Bryce Hopkins (three points, one rebound) played three.

Injured during the offseason, Jones will be available to make his season debut on Saturday. Given the time missed, he’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball. Jones will give the Nuggets added frontcourt depth, however.

Jones has not appeared in a game this season, and that won’t change on Monday. Rookie Trevon Brazile has been a fixture in the Nuggets’ rotation, and that won’t change anytime soon.

Jones still hasn’t played this season, and it will be at least one more game before he debuts. Trevon Brazile has been fantastic and should continue to shine, likely even after Jones returns to the lineup.

Jones hasn’t played this season, and his absence has factored into rookie Trevon Brazile getting consistent rotation minutes. While he isn’t a must-roster player in redraft leagues, Brazile has played well enough to merit remaining in the rotation once the Nuggets are whole.

Jones, who is still working his way back from a strained hamstring, remains out for the Nuggets. Expect Trevor Brazile to carry that backup role.

The Nuggets aren’t going to take any chances with Jones, who’s working his way back from a strained hamstring. Rookie Trevon Brazile played 18 minutes off the bench in his debut and grabbed 12 rebounds. He’s likely to take on a similar role as Aaron Gordon’s backup on Saturday.

Jones, who strained his left hamstring early in training camp, is also navigating a right hamstring injury. His absence may give fellow reserve Trevon Brazile a few minutes, but it is unlikely to significantly affect fantasy basketball.

Due to a strained left hamstring, Jones did not play at all during the preseason. He’s on the injury report for Denver’s season opener due to bilateral hamstring injury management, so his right hamstring is also a concern. If Jones can’t play, the Nuggets may have to rely on rookie Trevon Brazile a little more, with the second-round pick coming off a productive preseason.

Jones strained his left hamstring early in training camp and did not play in any of the Nuggets’ preseason games. He’s made positive strides in his recovery, most recently doing some scrimmaging during Sunday’s practice. Following the session, Jones said that he expects to be available for Sunday’s opener. If Jones plays, there may be fewer minutes available to rookie Trevon Brazile, who played well in the Nuggets’ final preseason games.
