Nuggets sign Lonnie Walker IV to training camp deal ahead of season

The Denver Nuggets have signed Lonnie Walker IV to a one-year training camp contract, according to reports. The deal is worth $3.3 million, but it allows Walker IV to compete for a roster spot prior to the upcoming season. This move provides the Nuggets with additional flexibility in roster construction, as they still have two roster spots available. The Nuggets are facing pressure to improve their guard depth as they prepare for what could be a pivotal season, especially with star Nikola Jokic yet to extend his contract. The offseason has been relatively quiet for the franchise, and filling remaining roster positions is a priority.
