Despite the crazy Argentine encouragement in the stands, Campazzo did not play for a second and Nocioni worried with a phrase about his future in Denver

For the second time so far in the 2021-2022 NBA season, Denver Nuggets VS Portland Trail Blazers Betting Tip 14.01.22″>Facundo Campazzo sat on the Denver Nuggets bench and did not see action in his team’s loss as a visitor to the Utah Jazz 108-104. This decision of the coach Michael Malone giving him a few minutes was accentuated in the last games of the Colorado franchise and, a week after deadline to make transfers before the final part of the campaign, the future of the Argentine is uncertain.

The night before, in another loss of Denver against Minnesota, the Cordovan had entered 11 minutes in the last quarter and when the duel was sentenced in favor of the Wolves. Added to this, in the previous games, his participation had been even less: against the Milwaukee Bucks he had been on the court for about 180 seconds and against the New Orleans Pelicans only 7 minutes.

Beyond not removing the diver throughout the match, Campazzo took all the eyes of the local public that remained in the Living Smart Home Arena when a large group of Argentine fans began to cheer him to the song of “I’m Argentine, it’s a feeling, I can’t stop, hey, hey, hey…”. As can be seen in the images that several people who were on the field uploaded to the networks, Facu approached the more than 30 fans who crowded into the area where the tunnel to the locker room begins and tried to shake hands with the ones he could.

Once he took his phone, the former Real Madrid used his Twitter account to thank him for the displays of affection he received during his visit to Utah. “Incredible, thank you so much for so much love!”, wrote and accompanied the post with two heart emojis.

Beyond what happened after the match, during the broadcast of the match, which was carried out by ESPN for all of Latin America, Chapu Nocioni set off the alarms about a possible new direction in the career of Facu inside the NBA.

“Facundo’s situation worries me a little, right? It is very close to what the treadline is and that you are sitting down… Something may be going on”, mentioned the Olympic champion with the Golden Generation. Immediately afterwards, the rapporteur Leo Montero replied: “Chapu, you are getting very scared. Coming to February 10, you’re getting a lot scared, what’s going on?”, the signal’s basketball specialist told him. To which the former NBA player replied: “It’s out of the rotation, but in general, watch out for that if you get taken out of the rotation a little while before a treadline. It happened to me and that’s why I say it with experience”, ended.

Nocioni played for nine seasons in the best basketball league in the world and it was precisely in 2008-2009 when, after four and a half years with the Chicago Bulls, he was transferred to the Sacramento Kings.

It must be remembered that coach Malone explained a few days ago why Campazzo saw his minutes cut in the Nuggets’ substitute rotation. After the victory against Milwaukee, the reigning champions of the league, the coach was clear in his message to the press: “The bench is performing better and today the backup point guard is (Bones) Hyland. That does not mean that we do not have Facundo. It’s not like that at all,” he said.

And to conclude his presentation, he added: “We felt we should try something different.” In the last four games, including the recent loss to the Jazz, the player who was chosen in the first round of the last Draft by Denver, averaged almost 20 minutes on the court. The amount that the Argentine point guard had when he was in charge of leading the Nuggets’ second squad.
