Brandon Williams signed a one-year, $2.6 million contract with the Golden State Warriors. The Denver Nuggets reportedly expressed interest in Williams, along with the Boston Celtics, after he became a free agent. His presence would have bolstered the Nuggets' backcourt, which currently has limited depth. Williams averaged 13 points, 3.9 assists, and 2.9 rebounds in the previous season. With the market for guards thinning, the Nuggets must explore other free agency options to enhance their roster ahead of the 2026-27 season.
