Bruce Brown

30 June 2025

Headed back to Denver

Brown (knee) agreed to a one-year, $3.63 minimum contract with the Nuggets on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Analysis

Brown will return to the Nuggets after playing a key role off the bench in the team's 2023 title run. The wing split the 2024-25 campaign between the Pelicans and the Raptors, finishing with regular-season averages of 8.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists. Now 27 years old, Brown should play a similar role in 2025-26 as he did in 2022-23, providing depth on the wing behind Christian Braun and the newly acquired Cameron Johnson. Brown dealt with knee soreness at the end of the 2024-25 regular season, but the issue shouldn't linger into training camp.
