This past week was a busy one for the Denver Nuggets, especially with regards to contractual matters. Virtually every player whom the Nuggets struck a handshake deal with in free agency finally put ink to paper, including Darrell Arthur. With 15 players currently signed to guaranteed contracts the Nuggets will be forced to make a tough decision on what…...
Denver Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried will take part in the NBA’s first ever Africa game, an exhibition contest August 1 at Ellis Park Arena in Johannesburg, South Africa. The game will feature Team Africa, captained by South Sudan native Luol Deng of the Miami Heat and composed of current and second generation African players, versus Team World, captained by Chris…...
When the Nuggets fired Brian Shaw on March 3 there was still snow on the ground in Colorado, the Patriots still won the SuperBowl without cheating, seeding in the Western Conference was still up in the air and the Cleveland Cavaliers were still considered a work in progress. Three months later the Nuggets are still without a head coach.…...
Ty Lawson’s time in Denver seems like it may be coming to an inevitable end, but another player may want out with him. According to a report, both Lawson and Kenneth Faried don’t seem to be up to a rebuild with the Nuggets and would prefer a trade if things don’t go the way they want this offseason. Sources close…...
It’s official. The NBA’s draft lottery system hates the Denver Nuggets. In the 30 years since the Lottery’s inception, the Nuggets have never — not even once — moved up beyond their expected draft position. In fact, more often than not they have moved back as other teams leapfrogged them in the draft order. This year proved to be…...
In Part 1 of BSN’s series analyzing the major transactions of Tim Connelly’s managerial career we took a look at the Nuggets’ disastrous 2013-14 season after moving on from former Executive of the Year, Masai Ujiri. It was a rough transition, to say the least, marked by underwhelming free-agent signings and draft-day blunders. Now in Part 2 of our…...
Amid speculation managment would be shutting down Nuggets starters in favor of tanking, the Nuggets had a full roster again Thursday night. It wasn’t enough to slow down James Harden and the Rockets. Harden scored a career high 50 points on 12-27 shooting and made 22 of his 25 free throw attempts. Randy Foye and Wilson Chandler both led the…...
Many people believe the Nuggets are going in full on tank mode for the rest of the season. Despite Melvin Hunt winning six of his first eight contests as interim coach, Denver decided to sit three of their starters in Monday's loss to Memphis. After the loss, Melvin Hunt said resting players has more to do with injuries than anything....

Three #Nuggets to be rested tonight: Ty Lawson, Kenneth Faried, Danilo Gallinari. They will NOT play vs Grizzlies — Chris Dempsey (@dempseypost) March 16, 2015 All three players…...
The Nuggets won their second straight game of the Melvin Hunt era last night, much to the surprise of Wolves forward Kevin Garnett. “They quit on Brian Shaw, I thought maybe they’d quit again. A quitter is a quitter.” Before being reunited with Minnesota Garnett played most of this season from a far in the eastern conference, but seems to…...
By Brandon Krisztal In Denver, Colorado seemingly every year as the Major League Baseball trade deadline approaches, we often ask, “Are the Rockies buyers or sellers this year?” Most years, they’re sellers, or they do nothing. At Pepsi Center, for nearly a decade, there was no notion of the Nuggets being sellers, save for Carmelo Anthony’s final season. But some…...
The Nuggets play host to the Charlotte Hornets tonight at Pepsi Center but will be without two rotation players. This could be a chance for JaVale McGee to see significant playing time after returning Thursday from missing the previous 26 games. McGee has appeared in just 20 games over the last two seasons....
