Overview

  • Brown rejoined Denver on a veteran’s minimum deal after stops with the Pacers, Raptors and Pelicans, returning to the team he helped to the 2023 title.
  • At media day, he said it was a long two years with “a lot of losing basketball” and emphasized his desire to win again, per DNVR Nuggets on X.
  • Nikola Jokic welcomed him back with a lighthearted line at media day, saying the Nuggets “need to save his career again,” according to ClutchPoints.
  • After a right-knee issue limited him to 41 games last season, Brown is expected to be available for the season opener and could see backup point guard minutes behind Jamal Murray, per The Sporting News citing The Denver Post.
  • Denver’s offseason included trading Michael Porter Jr. and a 2032 first-round pick to Brooklyn for Cam Johnson and adding Jonas Valanciunas and Tim Hardaway Jr., with the season opening Oct. 23 at the Warriors.
