Nuggets hire Dave Joerger as lead assistant coach under David Adelman

Dave Joerger has agreed to join the Denver Nuggets as the lead assistant coach under head coach David Adelman, according to a report. Joerger, who spent the past two seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, has nearly two decades of experience as an NBA coach, including stints as head coach for the Memphis Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings. The Nuggets, coming off a 54-28 season that ended with a first-round playoff exit, continue to reshape their roster as they seek a deeper playoff run. This hiring adds experience to Adelman's staff as the team navigates offseason decisions, including those involving restricted free agent Peyton Watson.
