Nuggets' Juancho Hernangomez: Disappears after career game

Hernangomez tallied 3 points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3pt), one rebound, three assists and a steal over 33 minutes in Wednesday's 112-99 loss to the Timberwolves.

Analysis:

To be sure, the Nuggets were ice-cold shooters in this game, but it appears Hernangomez will continue to be a mystery for players. Although his tantalizing 27-point showing on Monday against Golden State had us thinking he may have made a case for more time, Wednesday's game left Nuggets fans wondering when thy might see Kenneth Faried (ankle) or Danilo Gallinari (groin) back on the court. The All-Star break will provide a much-needed respite for the plethora of injured Nuggets, so for those who scrambled to the waiver wire to snag Hernangomez after his 3-point parade, you may have to wait a while for a similar performance.
