The Nuggets have parted ways with veteran guard Nick Young, the team announced in a tweet.
Young signed in Denver 20 days ago shortly after the team was granted a hardship exception. He appeared in four games, averaging 2.3 PPG in 9.3 minutes per night.
The hardship exception expires when a sufficient number of players return from injury, and the Nuggets are starting to get healthy, notes Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports (Twitter link). Paul Millsap came back last night, and Gary Harris and Will Barton are expected to return soon.
Denver has a full roster with 15 players plus both two-way slots filled. Young, who had a non-guaranteed contract, understood the situation and was professional during his time with the team, Dempsey adds (Twitter link). The Nuggets will incur a $311,070 cap hit for Young, tweets ESPN’s Bobby Marks.
That was fast. I actually think he’s not a bad bench player even though some people hate the guy. Wonder if he will land on another team
How does this guy keep on getting NBA gigs?
He’s really not bad. He can shoot
If EG misses time, I’ll bet he ends up in Houston.
Please back to LAL!
