Denver Nuggets sign Lonnie Walker IV to $3.3 million contract

The Denver Nuggets have signed Lonnie Walker IV to a one-year, $3.3 million veteran minimum contract. This move addresses a need for depth after other teams have strengthened their rosters ahead of the NBA season. Walker, who has previous playoff experience and played for the Los Angeles Lakers, is expected to bolster the Nuggets' scoring options off the bench. After leaving the NBA to play overseas, Walker returns with hopes of solidifying a role in Denver's lineup amidst concerns regarding his perimeter defense.
