Needing someone to step into the starting lineup with Gary Harris nursing a shoulder injury, Nuggets coach Michael Malone turned to trusted sixth man Will Barton on Nov. 11 against the Magic. Why? Because Barton doesn’t get tired. That’s at least what Malone said prior to his team’s 125-107 win that night. Barton responded with 26 points on 9-12 shooting,…...
DENVER — The Nuggets were laying brick after brick for the better part of three quarters Thursday. Their playoff hopes crumbled a little bit with each of them. In a game that they had to have against the division-rival Minnesota Timberwolves to keep pace in the Western Conference playoff race, Denver’s offense went uncharacteristically cold. Then Devin Harris stepped in…...
DALLAS — Devin Harris didn’t dillydally after the Nuggets’ practice finished up Monday in Dallas. He had somewhere to be. His daughters were finishing up their day of school in nearby Plano, and Harris planned to pick them up. “I don’t get to do it much, but they appreciate it,” Harris said. “It was good to spend some time with…...

DENVER — The middle part of the Western Conference standings have gotten more jumbled than your sister’s sock drawer. As of Tuesday morning, three games were all that separated the fifth-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder (32-25) from the team in 10th place, the Utah Jazz (29-28). The Thunder are a game ahead of the Trail Blazers, who are a half game ahead…...
DENVER — There isn’t much about NBA life that is unfamiliar to Devin Harris after nearly 14 seasons in the league. The 34-year-old has been a 20-points-per-game scorer, an All Star, played in an NBA Finals and, in the last few seasons, come off the bench for a lottery team. But one scenario Harris hadn’t witnessed until Saturday night, which…...
PHOENIX — Wilson Chandler averaged 15.7 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in 2017. That career year feels like decades ago. This season, Chandler has struggled to find his footing on the offensive end of the floor through 49 regular season games, and as a result, his numbers have slipped to just 8.8 points on 41.6 percent shooting…...
PHOENIX — After an emotional departure from Dallas — a city where Devin Harris spent the last four years and parts of nine of his 13 seasons in the NBA — the 6-foot-3 guard arrived at the Denver Nuggets’ team hotel Saturday with the three-team trade between the Mavericks, Knicks and Nuggets finally complete in time for the team’s morning…...
HOUSTON — Richard Jefferson is often the loudest voice in the Denver Nuggets’ locker room. He’s also the most sarcastic. Jefferson spoke with the media Friday morning about Denver’s recent acquisition Devin Harris, who the Nuggets traded for in a three-team deal that became official Friday. Here’s Jefferson’s not so serious assessment of his former teammates and why he told…...
HOUSTON — The three-team trade that sent Emmanuel Mudiay to the New York Knicks, Devin Harris to the Denver Nuggets and Doug McDermott to the Dallas Mavericks became official Thursday evening, but Harris won’t be with the team when Denver takes on the Rockets on Friday in Houston. Harris will meet the Nuggets in Phoenix on Saturday — the second…...
My first day on the Nuggets’ beat was June 25, 2015 — draft night. As the Denver Nuggets selected Emmanuel Mudiay seventh overall, former Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson surfaced in an online video smoking hookah and predicted he’d be traded to Sacramento to reunite with former coach George Karl. The stunt proved to be the last straw for a Nuggets organization that had…...
DENVER — The Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks and New York Knicks have agreed to a three-team trade that sends Devin Harris to Denver, Emmanuel Mudiay to New York and Doug McDermott to Dallas. The Nuggets and Mavericks will also swap second-round picks. The trade, which was first reported by ESPN, has since been confirmed to BSN Denver. Here’s how the Nuggets graded…...
