Nuggets sign DeMar DeRozan to one-year contract after Watson trade

The Denver Nuggets have signed six-time NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan to a one-year, $3.9 million contract. This move follows a sign-and-trade deal that sent Peyton Watson to the Cleveland Cavaliers, while the Nuggets received Julian Reese and two draft picks. DeRozan joins Denver after averaging 18.4 points and 4.1 assists during his last season with the Sacramento Kings. His addition provides the Nuggets with an experienced player who can fill multiple positions, particularly as they address depth issues among forwards due to injury concerns last season. DeRozan’s consistent health may bolster the roster as the Nuggets prepare for the upcoming season.
