Nuggets Sign Bruce Brown To One-Year Deal

July 9: Brown has officially signed with the Nuggets, according to a press release from the team.


June 30: The Nuggets have agreed to a deal to bring Bruce Brown back to Denver on a one-year deal, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania (Twitter link).

Sam Amick of The Athletic reports (via Twitter) that the deal will be worth the veteran’s minimum.

Since leaving the Nuggets as a free agent in 2023, Brown has spent time with the Pacers, Raptors, and Pelicans. He averaged 8.3 points and 4.0 rebounds per game in 2024/25 over 41 games split between Toronto and New Orleans before being held out of action down the stretch with a right knee injury.

The versatile 6’4″ wing spent time with the Pistons and Nets before his first stint in Denver, which culminated in him playing a key role off the bench for the championship team in 2022/23. After averaging 12 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game in the playoffs that year, Brown left the team for a two-year, $45MM offer from the Pacers that Denver didn’t have the ability to match.

Brown now returns to a Denver team that is making aggressive moves to position itself for another title run, including trading longtime starter Michael Porter Jr. and a first-round pick for Cameron Johnson.
