Emiliano Carchia: Juancho Hernangomez: In the past two months I had great teachers as Ricky Rubio, Marc Gasol, Rudy. They know how to win.

Despite a slow start and a bad shooting night, Spain managed to get a 73-65 win over Iran in Group C of FIBA World Cup. Spain won all three of its games so far and stayed at the top of the group while Iran lost all three and finished last. Puerto Rico (2-1) got the better of Tunisia (1-2) earlier today and advanced further. Marc Gasol led the winning side with 16 points while Victor Claver and Juancho Hernangomez added 11 each. The latter also grabbed ten rebounds for a double-double.
Russia put on a strong third quarter against Spain and recorded a convincing 74-55 win in the last prep game for the two teams in front of the 2019 FIBA World Cup in China. […] Despite the loss, Spain’s Willy Hernangomez stole the spotlight with game-high 26 points while his brother Juancho Hernangomez helped with 12 points. Marc Gasol didn’t play due to stomach problems while Rudy Fernandez rested.
Willy Hernangomez added 13 and Marc Gasol 12 points. Juancho Hernangomez logged 11 points and seven boards.
The Spanish star also revealed how his teammate reacted to Nuggets‘ elimination after a rather impressive run in the season. “In the game that left us out of the playoffs, he finished with almost 20 rebounds. After the end, he started crying in the dressing room blaming himself for the elimination and that’s hard. These things show how much he loves basketball and that the best is all yet to come. He is, possibly, the best talent I have seen in my life”, Juancho told the Spanish media.
Harrison Wind: Juancho Hernangomez plans to play for the Spanish national team this summer. He says he’s excited to potentially play with his brother and some of his “idols.” Hernangomez also joked that he hopes Nikola Jokic doesn’t play with Serbia so it makes the road for Spain a bit easier.
It is the first time in Doncic’s life, since he took up basketball at age 7, that he has experienced losing. One hint of how well he’s coping with it: Doncic has pulled his jersey apart in frustration after a play gone awry — twice. “It’s harder than people think,” Doncic said. “He’s a winner — he won everything in Europe,” Juancho Hernangomez of the Denver Nuggets said. “So every time he loses, he gets so mad.”
Harrison Wind: Jarred Vanderbilt is questionable for tomorrow’s matchup with the Suns. Isaiah Thomas and Michael Porter Jr. remain out. Juancho Hernangomez, who’s been battling an abdominal strain, is off the Nuggets’ injury report.
Harrison Wind: Juancho Hernangomez (abdominal strain) is out tonight vs the Cavs.
Nick Kosmider: Juancho Hernangomez is questionable for tomorrow night’s game vs. the Cavaliers with a abdominal strain.
Harrison Wind: Malone on Juancho who only played 9 minutes vs Miami: “He’s definitely dealing with some injuries right now… if it gets to a point where we have to shut him down for a little bit we’ll do so. As of right now our training staff thinks it’s something he can play with.”
Harrison Wind: Juancho Hernangomez (abdominal strain) is active for the Nuggets tonight vs. Mavs. I assume he’ll start like normal and Denver will keep an eye on his minutes.
Harrison Wind: Juancho Hernangomez (abdominal strain) is questionable for Tuesday’s matchup with the Mavs. Barton, Harris, Millsap, Porter Jr, Thomas and Vanderbilt all remain out.
Nick Kosmider: Michael Malone is adjusting his starting lineup tonight. Juancho Hernangomez will start for Torrey Craig as Denver tries to reverse a trend of slow starts.
The Nuggets are now 7-1, their best start since they went 8-0 to open the 1976-77 season. “When Juancho plays, he plays extremely hard,” Malone said. “You know what you’re going to get, and tonight we saw the best of Juancho.” The Nuggets this week picked up the fourth-year options for Hernangomez, Beasley and Jamal Murray, their three first-round picks in 2016. The option for Murray was a no-brainer. He’s the team’s starting point guard, has played in all but one game in his career and carries future All-Star potential. He will be a candidate for an extension next fall as the Nuggets continue to build around their young core.
Then Malone turned to Hernangomez, whose contributions to Wednesday’s victory didn’t show up in the final line. “I even singled (Hernangomez) out last night the locker room in Chicago,” Malone said. “Every huddle, he didn’t play the whole night, but every huddle he was in the game, supporting his teammates. And that’s really big, that’s mature. And tonight, I knew we’d need him. Didn’t know he’d have the night that he had, but we need his energy on the second night of a back-to-back.”
Duvalier Johnson: Malone on Hernangomez;”When Juancho plays he plays extremely hard, you don’t have to worry about that, you know what you’re going to get and obviously tonight you saw the best of everything about Juancho.” #Nuggets
Duvalier Johnson: Malone said Hernangomez was singled out last night in Chicago even though he didn’t play. Said that he was supporting teammates in every huddle and that shows his maturity.
Nick Kosmider: The Nuggets win 110-91 to improve to 7-1. This is their best start since they won their first eight games in 1976. Juancho Hernangomez scores a season-high 23 points and hits five 3-pointers.
Harrison Wind: Malone on Juancho: “I think he’s pressing a little bit. Nobody’s going to outwork Juancho, he’s an unbelievable worker…but he’s got to have a next play mentality. I feel for him because I think he’s frustrated a little bit…I think he’s going to have a great season.”
Juan Hernangomez: Gracias Manu!💪🏻💪🏻 #LEGEND
Spanish national team head coach Sergio Scariolo announced the list of 16 players that will compile the roster for the last two games of the first stage of the World Cup Qualifiers. Denver Nuggets forward Juancho Hernangomez is the sole NBAer in the roster
Juan Hernangomez: Call it game.. LJ.. 👀
Harrison Wind: Malik Beasley (right elbow strain/sprain) is available to play tonight vs 76ers. Juancho Hernangomez (illness) is out.
Harrison Wind: Juancho Hernangomez (mono) has been upgraded to questionable for tonight’s game vs Magic. Gary Harris (right shoulder soreness) is also questionable.
Gina Mizell: #Nuggets F Juancho Hernangomez on recovery from mono:” I need a few weeks. I’m gonna work so hard to be with my team as soon as possible.”
Duvalier Johnson: Juancho Hernangomez is still out as he hasn’t been cleared. Malone said he expects him out for a few weeks. #Nuggets
Denver Nuggets forward Juancho Hernangomez will be sidelined for an undetermined amount of time because of mononucleosis. Hernangomez didn’t travel with the Nuggets as they kick off a four-game trip in Charlotte on Wednesday. Hernangomez will remain in Denver “as part of his recovery,” the team announced.
“Then he started coming down with a little bit of a cold, and we did blood work and it came back that he had mononucleosis. … It’s really unfortunate.” Malone said. “He had such a good year for us as a rookie last year. And he could be out for a couple of weeks; that infection obviously is tricky. Hopefully he is able to get the rest he needs to get his body back under control. And then, hopefully when he is healthy, we’ll see that Juancho that we all came to love last year, who was just boundless energy. We haven’t seen that guy yet because of this infection and how hard he worked the whole summer.”
Denver Nuggets reserve forward Juancho Hernangomez has been diagnosed with mononucleosis, league sources told The Denver Post on Tuesday. Hernangomez, a second-year player out of Spain, was officially ruled out of Monday’s loss to the Wizards with an undisclosed illness and did not travel with the team for Wednesday’s contest at Charlotte. Symptoms for mono, which include fatigue, sore throat and fever, typically last four-to-six weeks.
TJ McBride: Juancho Hernangomez is OUT with an illness for the Nuggets against the Wizards. Richard Jefferson active for his first time in Denver.
“Being the next Gasols is impossible,” Juancho added. “Just like being the next Juan Carlos Navarro is impossible. And [the Gasols] are the two best players at FIBA EuroBasket. Pau is 37-year-old and still one of the best players in Europe. He’s like a big teacher or a big brother to all of us. It’s impossible to be like Gasol.”
There is one key difference with the two pairs of brothers. The Gasols are Barcelona’s finest. But Guillermo Gustavo Willy and Juan Alberto Juancho are Madridistas. The rivalry is intense, albeit only when the Real Madrid and FC Barcelona soccer teams meet each other. “For sure! My brother and I are Madrid fans, Real Madrid fans, and Gasol brothers – they are FC Barcelona fans. The soccer teams played a match two or three weeks ago in Madrid, the Spanish Supercup, and Madrid beat Barcelona easily. So after the game, my brother and I were crazy, like, yelling ‘Hala, Madrid!’ and ‘Let’s go, Madrid!’ The Gasol brothers were mad at us. But it is what it is,” said Willy smiling, as he thought back to the 5-1 on aggregate Real win.
Against Romania, Pau Gasol was rested, but the bottom line for Spain was the same. The defending Eurobasket champs got an impressive win. Every player of Spain did his job when he was on the court, however, Juancho Hergnangomez was more than impressive with a double-double (20 p., 11 r.), proving that the next generation of the Spanish national team is ready to continue the team’s tradition of dominance.
Juan Hernangomez: BUMSHAKALAKA 🤷🏼♀️ #FFG!
Our very own Juancho Hernangomez is suited up to compete in the European league, Eurobasket, with his home country of Spain. Juancho gets to share this moment with his brother Guillermo “Willy” Hernangomez of the New York Knicks who will also play for the Spanish national team. Juancho and Willy are very close, and today Juancho shared a special note from his brother as they get ready to head into competition together.
“I’m proud that we are compared with the Gasols,” Hernangomez said to Marca. “It’s not usual and I don’t think it’s going to happen again. It’s going to be very difficult to match or do something close to what they have done. My brother and I are starting on our road. It’s my brother’s first year here with the national team and, well, we want to work hard. Give everything to Spain. So that in the future, when they talk about brothers in the national team, they will remember us as well.”
Juancho Hernangomez was just trying to understand the American style of basketball a year ago, how the NBA worked and what the rules were. But now, coming into his second season with the Denver Nuggets, the Spainard feels right at home. “It’s completely different,” Hernangomez said. “Everything was a new thing (last year). Right now, I’ve got one year’s experience. I feel like I’m a better player, I feel like my groove is going on.”
Duvalier Johnson: Micah Nori said he expects Juancho Hernangomez to play in three summer league game before he transitions to the national team. #Nuggets
Juan Hernangomez: 🏆siiuuuuuuu DÉCIMA!🏆LEYENDA!@RafaelNadal
Juancho Hernangomez: Wow…congrats to @realmadrid for this amazing 12🏆#HISTORIA
Do you plan on playing summer league with Denver? Juan Hernangomez: Yeah, I think I’m going to play summer league. I like to compete. They asked me if I was down for it and I really would like to go and play a couple of games, be around the team and keep developing as a player.
When you make it to Denver and you get to practice with Nikola Jokic, is it obvious to you that he’s going to be the franchise player or did his sophomore season catch you by surprise? Juan Hernangomez: From Day 1, I was in shock with Nikola Jokic. Honestly, he’s the biggest talent I’ve seen in my life. When he improves physically and gets more ready for a full NBA season, he’s going to be so, so good. He’s our franchise player. He can give you 20 points and 20 rebounds, he will shoot threes, he can give you 12-15 assists. When the ball goes through him and he has a good day, our team has very good chances of winning. We really need him for next year.
I saw you retweeted Shaq’s tweet on the Big Baller Brand of the Ball family. Coming from a basketball family yourself, what’s your take on the Balls and the things they are doing? Juan Hernangomez: (Laughs) I have a personal take on this that I’m not willing to share. What I can say is all they’re trying to do is draw attention and get a big audience. [Lonzo Ball] has proved nothing yet, although he may have a bright future. I don’t think his family’s approach is right, but you have to respect it. When he’s in the NBA, we’ll be waiting for him.

Juan Hernangomez: I like to talk (some trash) on the court and one day I talked a little too much. We were playing Phoenix and Tyson Chandler was there. He looked at me like, ‘You punk, who do you think you’re talking to?’ and that’s when I shitted my pants. I didn’t say anything else, went to the bench and hid there (laughs).
Juan Hernangomez on Nikola Jokic: His personality is incredible. He’s very humble, very funny, tries to help all teammates… He’s a great teammate.
TJ McBride: Harris on Juancho’s game: “That’s Juancho man. He’s probably upstairs shooting shots. He never stops shooting.”
“My goal is to play with the national team for a lot of years,” Abrines said. “I want to be a solid player for the team. The Gasol generation is just amazing and there are a lot of young talents coming up in the national team. The Hernangomez (Willy and Juancho) brothers for example, who can be the new Gasols and help us stay among the top teams of the world. I know that we are going to suffer a little bit when (Pau) Gasol and Navarro and all of those guys quit playing for the national team, but I think we also have young talents.”
Chris Dempsey: Also, the #Nuggets hope to have Juancho Hernangomez back with the team tonight. He’ll try and get here from his D-League assignment.
The Denver Nuggets have assigned rookie guard Malik Beasley and rookie forward Juancho Hernangomez to the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the NBA Development League, General Manager and Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly announced today.
Rebecca Haarlow: Couldn’t be happier for these brothers, facing each other for the FIRST time in the @NBA.

Thanks to @willyhernangomez & @juanchiviris41 for joining me. #allclass #allfun #knicks #knicksonmsg #begrateful 💛
At 3 o’clock Sunday morning, 12 or 13 family members of Juancho and Willy Hernangomez will wake up at their parents’ house in Madrid, Spain, just hours after a planned dinner, and gather around the television in anticipation of the main event. Juancho vs. Willy I. “It’s a dream come true just playing in the NBA,” Juancho Hernangomez said. “It’s more worth it when you’re playing against your brother.”
“We have a really good relationship,” Juancho said. “We are more than brothers. We can talk about every situation, every problem. So, I think that’s our key; our relationship is really good. “If he has problems he knows we can talk to each other. And if I have an issue I can talk to him. The good thing is we are rookies in the same season. So all of the problems that he has, we have the same. So we going to help each other to learn about the NBA, learn about everything.” Said Willy: “It’s crazy. We’re both rookies in the NBA in the same year. For us, it’s a dream come true.”
Recently, London-based PR firm Pitch conducted a Q&A session with Hernangomez regarding his start to life in Denver. Q: It’s your first season in the NBA, how does it feel to be finally playing in the NBA? Hernangomez: “I feel really good, I feel really happy to be here, playing for an NBA team. I worked really hard last summer to be here and be at my best. We worked really hard as a team as well to make sure we could be competitive against any team. We are well aware of what our goals are and we want to have a good season. We may even lose four tight games but we never lose hope because we always play really hard in Denver and we manage to bring home some good victories.”
Q: How have your teammates helped you the first few weeks of getting here and getting settled? Hernangomez: “They helped me a lot. I’m really proud to have these teammates, these veterans like Mike Miller, Jameer Nelson… They help me a lot. I think we have a really good chemistry here. The Nuggets organisation is like a home. We’re all like brothers, like family and we have fun as well, which is certainly good for the team.”
Jamal Murray, Juancho Hernangomez, and Malik Beasley are officially Denver Nuggets. All three have now signed their rookie contracts.
Jaylen Brown spoke French with Pelicans’ Cheick Diallo and Spanish with Nuggets’ Juan Hernangomez. Hernangomez complimented Brown on his Spanish.
The first hurdle cleared was getting new Nuggets draft pick Juancho Hernangomez on the summer league roster. Check. He’ll be there. The next question is will he be on the roster in the fall. That is more complicated. “It’s the (general manager’s) decision, the coach’s decision, my family and my decision,” Hernangomez said. “So it’s our decision together.” Said Nuggets general manager Tim Connelly: “We’re going to take our time, let him get a taste of the NBA, let our coaches get a taste for his game.”
Chris Dempsey: Juan Hernangomez says he wants to play in summer league
Hernangomez will compete with Denver’s team in the NBA summer league, as the player’s future is still unclear and the Nuggets have not take yet a decision about signing him this summer. In any case, Hernangomez wasn’t a lock to make the final roster of the Spanish national team, so he will be free to chase his NBA dream.
The Nuggets selected Juan Hernangomez with the No. 15 pick in the draft because he offers a nice package of size (6-foot-9, 230 pounds) and skill. Whether any of that gets put on the court next season remains to be seen. The sides will negotiate what’s best for the 20-year-old, either bringing him here to get his NBA career started or waiting a year to do it. “Both options are open,” Connelly said. “There are some pretty good international situations, if we want him to marinate a bit overseas. I think certainly he has the game to come over. If you’re productive at the ACB level, it usually translates. But it’s a conversation we’re going to have with his representatives and figure it out.”
Adrian Wojnarowski: The Denver Nuggets will pick Juan Henangomez with the No. 15 pick in the NBA Draft, league source tells @The Vertical.
One of the more interesting prospects who figures to go in the 20s is 20-year-old Spaniard Juan Hernangomez, who can shoot from the perimeter and will develop into a stretch-4. The Raptors are said to be particularly interested in Hernangomez, and he’d clearly fit their desire to beef up their front line.
But he’s also told teams he is willing to play another year in Europe before coming to play in the NBA. That could be beneficial for playoff teams willing to let Hernangomez develop without using an NBA roster spot.
There aren’t any real great point guard prospects left on the board. Hernangomez has really impressed in workouts to the point that I think he has moved into the teens on many draft boards. Teams want stretch-4s and his ability to step in and play right now is a big plus.
You’re going to be a free agent now. I guess no decisions made yet on your future… But what would be the ideal situation for you? Juan Hernangomez: My contract comes to an end now and I don’t know what’s going to happen on June 23. Based on what happens, I’ll make a decision on the future with my family and my agents.
Say you’re a high pick and the NBA team that selects you wants you to head to the States right away… What do you do? Juan Hernangomez: You wake up and practice every day in the pursuit of your dreams… and all kids dream about the NBA because we can see the best players in the world are there. You want to compete to be around the best. Of course I would like to go to the NBA next year. If I have the slightest chance of making it happen, I’m going to take that opportunity. Teams know I want to go. Some teams want me for right away, others would rather have me stay in Europe for a year. I’m not sure yet what’s going to happen.
