Denver Nuggets match offer sheet for guard Spencer Jones

The Denver Nuggets matched a two-year, $12 million offer sheet from the Oklahoma City Thunder for guard Spencer Jones. Jones, who initially joined the team on a two-way contract, logged 64 games and 37 starts during the 2025-26 season. Despite limited ball possession, he maintained a 50.4% shooting percentage and 39.6% from three-point range. Data from the previous season indicates he held the lowest on-ball percentage of any player in the NBA. Following his transition to a standard contract in February, he played in six playoff games against the Minnesota Timberwolves. His role continues to center on spacing the floor and off-ball movement rather than acting as a primary ball handler.
