Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Makes garbage-time cameo in Game 7
Rotowire
Tyson (ankle) played the final 9:36 of Sunday's 125-93 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals, scoring five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and adding three rebounds and one assist.
Tyson had missed the previous three games of the series due to a right ankle sprain, though the second-year forward hadn't been part of the Nuggets' postseason rotation anyway. He was able to get some run in Game 7, though he didn't check into the game until the Thunder had built a 32-point lead. Tyson finished the regular season with averages of 2.6 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 7.8 minutes per contest while shooting 37.5 percent from the field in 51 appearances (two starts).

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Questionable for series finale
Rotowire
Tyson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Thunder.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Tyson has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Thunder due to a right ankle sprain.
Tyson was a late addition to the injury report after presumably twisting his ankle during warmups. He didn't appear in Games 1 or 3 but saw 12 minutes during Denver's Game 2 blowout loss, posting eight points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal.
Tyson is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
The Nuggets are resting all of their regular starters on Wednesday, so Tyson will get the chance to handle an expanded role in this contest. Tyson has made just one start this season, logging 20 minutes in a win over the Warriors on March 17 and finishing with nine points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals.

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

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Fares well as starter
Rotowire
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.
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.
Tyson posted 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.
Tyson continues to play only during garbage time, a common theme for several 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.

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

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

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Dealing with illness
Rotowire
Tyson is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to an illness.
Tyson and Peyton Watson both landed on the injury report due to an illness, but the latter is probable while the former is questionable.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Impresses off bench in win
Rotowire
Tyson racked up 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds and a block across 17 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 116-102 preseason win over the Bulls.
Tyson is vying for a bench spot in the Nuggets' rotation by the time the 2023-24 regular season rolls around, and he was impressive in this one, contributing on both ends of the court and looking efficient on offense. Tyson has scored in double digits in each of his last two preseason outings, though an uptick in his three-point shooting (5-for-19) would boost his case even further.

Nuggets' Hunter Tyson: Impresses yet again
Rotowire
Tyson tallied 31 points (11-13 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one turnover in 27 minutes during Friday's 112-81 Summer League win over Miami.
Tyson and Peyton Watson have looked dominant for the Nuggets in Summer League. Denver shut down Watson prior to Friday's game, leaving Tyson to get all the shots he could handle. Tyson is making a strong case to soak up some of the minutes that Jeff Green and Bruce Brown left behind.
