The Denver Nuggets are signing DeMar DeRozan, adding a veteran scorer to their championship-contending roster.
DeRozan, a six-time NBA All-Star with a 15-year career that includes stints with the Toronto Raptors, San Antonio Spurs and Chicago Bulls, brings an elite mid-range game and shot creation. He is a consistent scorer who excels in high-pressure situations.
The move gives Denver a reliable secondary scoring option and diversifies its offense. DeRozan's ability to draw fouls and reach the free-throw line provides a secondary source of points beyond his two-point shooting. His playmaking allows him to operate on-ball or off-ball, adding flexibility to a roster built around Nikola Jokic.
DeRozan's approach—heavy mid-range work with limited three-point reliance—differs from many modern guards. That fit complements Denver's existing system and could ease the offensive load on its established stars as the team prepares for the season.
