Hunter Tyson News, Rumors, Updates - Denver Nuggets

Back to bench Wednesday Tyson will come off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Tyson will return to a bench role Wednesday after making the first start of his NBA career in Monday's win against the Warriors. The Clemson product hasn't had a significant role with Denver this season, averaging 7.6 minutes per game. He likely won't have much of a fantasy impact returning to the second unit.

Fares well as starter Tyson ended with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 20 minutes during Monday's 114-105 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Christian Braun (foot), Jamal Murray (ankle) and Nikola Jokic (elbow) were all sidelined Monday, allowing Tyson to make his first career start. All three of those players are day-to-day, but they could get some maintenance in the final weeks as the Nuggets look to keep them fresh for the playoffs. Tyson will be on the streaming radar only when the Nuggets are very shorthanded.

First career start Monday Tyson is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Golden State.

Impact The Nuggets are without three members of their starting lineup Monday, creating a rare opportunity for the 2023 second-rounder in the first unit. Tyson has averaged 2.0 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.3 steals in 4.4 minutes over four games since the All-Star break, making it unclear how much his role will expand against the Warriors.

Cracks garbage time rotation Tyson amassed zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal across five minutes during Saturday's 133-104 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Tyson continues to play only during garbage time, a common theme for a number of fringe players who saw court time Saturday. To this point, he has suited up in 33 games, averaging a modest 2.1 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.5 minutes per game.

Scores seven points Tyson accumulated seven points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Monday's 130-129 victory over the Kings.

Impact Christian Braun missed his first game of the season due to lower back spasms, and Tyson was one of a few reserves to step up in his absence. Tyson matched his season-high mark of seven points in the win, but the workload wasn't appetizing enough to warrant attention for streaming purposes.

Plays 15 minutes in victory Tyson ended Monday's 121-119 win over the Raptors with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one block and one steal over 15 minutes.

Impact Tyson chipped in on the defensive end during his second consecutive game hitting the double-digit mark in minutes. The 24-year-old is a candidate for an increased role with Aaron Gordon (calf) set to miss multiple weeks.

Back in rotation Friday Tyson finished with two points (1-1 FG) in one minute during Friday's 111-98 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Tyson played one minute in the loss, suiting up for just the second time in the past 10 games. Given he has played only 13 games all season, Tyson can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.

MARCH 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated for Sunday's game Denver recalled Tyson from the G League's Grand Rapids Gold on Sunday.

Impact Tyson and Jalen Pickett were available for Sunday's loss to the Mavericks, but neither saw playing time. Tyson has made just one NBA appearance in March, totaling three points and a rebound in a one-minute, garbage-time appearance during a blowout win over Utah.

Gets garbage-time run in return Tyson (finger) played four minutes in Wednesday's 117-96 win over the Kings, finishing with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds.

Impact Back in action after missing the last five games with a finger fracture and sprain, Tyson was out of head coach Michael Malone's rotation while the game was competitive, as he didn't leave the bench until the Nuggets held a 22-point lead with 3:34 remaining in the fourth quarter. Tyson could link up with the G League's Grand Rapids Gold in the coming days if his playing time with the Nuggets remains scarce.

FEBRUARY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Wednesday Tyson (finger) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Kings.

Impact Tyson has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing Denver's last three contests with a left finger sprain. However, the rookie forward is unlikely to receive significant playing time against Sacramento.

FEBRUARY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday Tyson (finger) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Sacramento.

Impact Tyson is currently dealing with a left finger sprain/fracture. If he is unable to suit up Wednesday, his absence is unlikely to affect the the Nuggets' rotation, as the rookie has appeared in just one contest since Dec. 14.

FEBRUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined once again Tyson (finger) won't play against the Warriors on Sunday.

Impact Tyson is set to miss a fifth straight game, and the rookie doesn't have a timetable for his return. His next chance to play will come against the Kings on Wednesday, but even if he ends up being available, he's not expected to have a big role off the bench.

FEBRUARY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another absence coming Tyson (finger) is out for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

Impact Tyson's absence streak will extend to four games Friday due to a left finger sprain. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Golden State.

FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Tyson (finger) is out for Thursday's game versus the Wizards.

Impact Hunter will miss his third straight game Thursday due to a left finger sprain. However, the rookie forward's absence won't affect Denver's rotation.

FEBRUARY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Wednesday Tyson (finger) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Impact Tyson will be sidelined for a second straight game to close out the Nuggets' first-half schedule due to what the team is listing as a left finger sprain/fracture. The rookie second-round pick has made just nine appearances for the Nuggets this season, but with Jamal Murray (tibias) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) listed as questionable but considered unlikely to play against Sacramento, Tyson may have had a chance to pick up some minutes Wednesday if he was healthy.

FEBRUARY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out with finger fracture Tyson was ruled out ahead of Monday's 112-95 loss to the Bucks due to a left finger sprain/fracture.

Impact Tyson had been playing for the G League's Grand Rapids Gold prior to being recalled Monday, so he presumably sustained the injury in a recent game or practice with the Nuggets' affiliate. Even if he's cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Kings, the rookie second-round pick is unlikely to be included in head coach Michael Malone's rotation.

FEBRUARY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from G League The Nuggets recalled Tyson from the G League's Grand Rapids Gold on Monday.

Impact The Nuggets could be without Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) for Monday's game against the Bucks, so Tyson will provide the team with some extra depth on the wing.

FEBRUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled to Nuggets The Nuggets recalled Tyson from the G League's Grand Rapids Gold on Tuesday.

Impact Denver could be shorthanded for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, as their entire starting lineup is questionable with a variety of injuries. Tyson hasn't gotten many opportunities with the Nuggets, as he's appeared in eight games with an average of 2.5 minutes.

JANUARY 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for action Wednesday Tyson (illness) will play in Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Tyson will return from a one-game absence due to a non-COVID illness. Considering the Nuggets will only be missing Aaron Gordon on Wednesday, Tyson will likely be a fantasy non-factor.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Tyson (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.

Impact Tyson is in danger of missing his second straight contest Wednesday due to a non-COVID illness. However, the rookie forward's potential absence shouldn't affect Denver's rotation.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Monday Tyson (illness) will not play in Monday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Tyson joins Nikola Jokic (back), Aaron Gordon (heel) and Jamal Murray (hamstring) as key inactives for Denver on Monday. Peyton Watson is available despite also dealing with an illness, while Michael Porter should be busy in the Nuggets depleted frontcourt.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Tyson is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to an illness.

Impact Tyson and Peyton Watson both landed on the injury report due to an illness, but the latter is probable while the former is questionable. Tyson's potential absence wouldn't have an impact on Denver's rotation, as he has appeared in just six games this season and has yet to play more than four minutes.
