On Friday evening, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Portland Trail Blazers by a score of 120-108 (at home in Colorado).

Julian Strawther had missed the previous 13 games with an injury but was upgraded to available against the Trail Blazers.

However, he did not get any playing time.

On Saturday, Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports reported that Strawther has been assigned to the G League.

Via Wind: "Nuggets have sent Julian Strawther to the G League to get game reps after missing the last several weeks with a knee injury. Grand Rapids Gold play Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday all in Grand Rapids."
