Summary
The Denver Nuggets’ rush to get key players back last season backfired—Watson, Gordon, and Braun all suffered re-injuries after returning too soon, costing them crucial time. With playoff pressure mounting, the team’s medical staff faced tough calls balancing performance and player health. Agents and players alike urged caution, highlighting the need for a slower, more careful rehab process. This season, the Nuggets are prioritizing long-term health over short-term wins, hoping to avoid repeat setbacks and stay fully healthy through the grind.
