Strawther (back) is probable for Wednesday's game against Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Strawther is dealing with some low back pain, but he's expected to play through it Wednesday. He's been mostly outside of the rotation for Denver with an average of 5.6 minutes across four appearances.

Strawther provided six points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 122-88 victory over New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Strawther logged a season-high 11 minutes, continuing what has been a quiet start for the score-first guard. Despite averaging a career-high 21.3 minutes during the 2024-25 season, it appears as though Strawther has slipped down the pecking order, likely as a result of the addition of Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway. At this point, Strawther seems destined to serve as a depth piece, rather than a meaningful part of the rotation.

The Nuggets exercised Strawther's four-year team option Wednesday, Katy Winge of Altitude Sportsreports.

EDGE Analysis

Strawther has carved out a consistent role off the bench in Denver over the past two seasons. The Gonzaga product appeared in 65 regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 9.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game, shooting 43.2 percent from the field and 34.9 percent from three-point range.

Strawther recorded 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a steal across 18 minutes off the bench in Friday's preseason loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

The Nuggets rested several key players and Strawther wasn't among the starters, but he made his presence felt despite logging only 18 minutes of action. He ended the preseason on a high note on his quest to secure a regular rotation role ahead of the season opener against the Warriors on Oct. 23.

Strawther registered six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal in 18 minutes during Sunday's 125-93 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

After playing a minimal role as a rookie, Strawther made considerable strides in his second season. Across 65 regular-season appearances, Strawther produced 9.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 21.3 minutes. It will be interesting to see what changes happen in Denver this offseason, but Strawther may have positioned himself for a larger role in 2025-26.

Strawther finished with 15 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and two rebounds over 20 minutes during Thursday's 119-107 victory over Oklahoma City in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Strawther had easily his best game of the postseason, scoring all 15 of his points during the second half, fueling what was an impressive victory for the Nuggets. With Jamal Murray dealing with an illness, Strawther took it upon himself to springboard the win, an encouraging sign given how little we have seen of him during the playoffs. Denver will now head to Oklahoma City for Game 7, with both teams feeling they have something to prove.

Strawther provided zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and one block across 11 minutes during Thursday's 117-83 loss to the Clippers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Strawther saw his first game action during the first round in Thursday's blowout loss, though he didn't make much of an impact. The 23-year-old forward could step into the rotation if Michael Porter (shoulder) is sidelined for Game 4, though Strawther isn't guaranteed playing time moving forward.

Strawther (knee) played the final 54 seconds of Friday's 118-104 loss to the Warriors, recording no statistics during his time on the court.

EDGE Analysis

Strawther suited up for the first time since March 2 after missing the Nuggets' last 16 games due to a left knee sprain. The second-year wing had averaged 18.2 minutes per game over his six appearances since the All-Star break, but he wasn't featured in head coach Michael Malone's rotation Friday, as he didn't check into the game until the outcome was already decided. Jalen Pickett paced the bench in playing time with 24 minutes and looks like he'll serve as the Nuggets' top wing on the second unit ahead of Strawther for the time being.

Strawther (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Strawther has been cleared to play after a 16-game absence due to a left knee sprain. Before getting hurt, Strawther had averaged 7.3 points in 18.2 minutes per game over six appearances since the All-Star break, but it's not immediately clear if he'll draw back into the rotation Friday.
