Juan Hernangomez: Doesn’t play in Monday’s loss

The Nuggets’ crowded frontcourt has prevented Hernangomez from cracking the rotation to begin the season, with the rookie logging just one minute of court time across three games. The path to playing time will only get more difficult for Hernangomez when Darrell Arthur (knee) returns to action, which could happen as soon as Thursday against the Timberwolves.
