What happened
Denver wing Julian Strawther left the third quarter of Tuesday’s preseason game against the Clippers after a left-knee injury and was helped straight to the locker room, with coach David Adelman saying an MRI is planned for Thursday.
Before exiting, Strawther scored 11 points and made three of seven shots from deep, and Denver had viewed him as a player who could earn more perimeter minutes this season.
His status is unclear until the MRI, so Denver’s wing and bench perimeter plans may need to be adjusted. The injury could affect a role he was expected to compete for in preseason.
