Denver Nuggets center Bol Bol went viral after the 7-foot-2 rookie nearly posterized a teammate during practice at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida.
Bol, who is signed to a two-way contract, has been practicing with the Nuggets ahead of the season restart this month. The team has been cautious with his return to the court this season but his presence at Disney has been a welcomed addition for head coach Mike Malone.
On the play from Monday, Bol was captured on video by the Nuggets social media team catching a pass from Nikola Jokic. Bol quickly gathered himself and went up for the dunk attempt but, instead, had to settle for the throw-in over the defender.

Bol was included on the Nuggets’ official roster ahead of the season restart, though it is unclear if he will play much at Disney. Bol has yet to make his official NBA debut this season with the Nuggets and the team may opt to hold him out of action.
At the very least, though, the videos that have emerged from practice have shown that Bol looks to be fully healthy and ready to play should the team need him.
The Nuggets begin the season restart on Aug. 1 vs. the Miami Heat.
