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.

NBA 2K25 Summer League: Hunter Tyson powers Nuggets past Pacers | NBA.com Hunter Tyson Newton's carries the offensive load for Denver with 23 points in a NBA 2K25 Summer League win over Indiana.

JULY 19 • NBA.COM

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 • 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.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores two in loss Tyson contributed two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in four minutes during Wednesday's 110-89 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Tyson hasn't been a consistent part of the Nuggets' rotation this year, as he's appeared in just two of the team's first five games. The rookie second-rounder has averaged just 4.0 minutes per game over his two appearances.

NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to bench Tyson isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's season opener against the Nuggets, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Tyson started in Denver's preseason finale but unsurprisingly will be replaced by Michael Porter in the starting five Wednesday. Tyson is expected to compete for a depth role in the Nuggets' rotation this season.

OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joins usual starters in win Tyson compiled five points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and an assist across 21 minutes during Thursday's 103-90 win over the Clippers.

Impact Although Michael Porter (ankle) will be the starter to begin the season if he's healthy, coach Michael Malone's decision to start Tyson is a strong indication that he will make waves in the second unit. His excellent work during the preseason bolstered him from a potential G League candidate to a lock for the 15-man roster. The Clemson product has a versatile skill set, highlighted by a steady three-point shot. He'll be able to fill many roles with the second unit this season.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod Tyson will get the starting nod in Thursday's preseason game against the Clippers.

Impact Tyson has been a standout in the preseason, averaging 10.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 three-pointers. Michael Porter (ankle) is sitting out again Thursday, but it's pretty cool to see the rookie Tyson get an opportunity with the rest of Denver's usual starters.

Hunter Tyson Team High of 19 Points Off The Bench | Preseason Highlights

OCTOBER 18, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Excels again from bench Tyson totaled 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and a steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 116-103 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Tyson is one of the team's biggest surprises in the preseason, as the second-round pick out of Clemson was a long shot to make the roster. Instead, he's logged more minutes than most of Denver's starters and keeps pouring in the points. At 6-foot-8, Tyson can be plugged in at either wing position and is an adept deep threat, which was his bread and butter in college. The depth chart for Denver is crowded, but Tyson is making a case for a spot on the 15-man roster.
