Nuggets Expected To Sign Freshly Traded PG On Bargain Contract

The Denver Nuggets are reportedly considered a primary suitor to sign second-year point guard Ryan Nembhard on a potential two-way contract. Nembhard was recently traded from the Atlanta Hawks alongside Buddy Hield and cash to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Dorian Finney-Smith. Following the trade, the Hornets are reportedly expected to waive the 23-year-old guard.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Denver is viewed as a prime landing spot if Nembhard clears waivers. The Nuggets are seeking roster depth alongside Nikola Jokic after losing Peyton Watson in free agency and experiencing a quiet offseason.
