Aaron Gordon woke up to a FaceTime call from a teammate. It was the middle of the night in China. But he turned on the lights and answered, like he always does. Why the Nuggets believe nobody deserves this moment more than Gordon: denverpost.com/2025/05/06/aar…

The NBA today announced that the 2025 NBA Canada Series presented by Bell will feature a preseason game between the Toronto Raptors and the Denver Nuggets at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, B.C. on Monday, Oct. 6. More: pr.nba.com/toronto-raptor…
This had reached a point where only Valanciunas himself could squash any lingering uncertainty about Panathinaikos. Nuggets have found him to be pleasant and cooperative in their conversations with him, but now his stance is clear — he’s committed to honoring his NBA contract.
Jonas Valanciunas spoke with me to clear the air on the Nuggets and Panathinaikos situation: "I want to clear the air about my playing situation next season now that Denver has made their decision to keep me. The idea of playing for Panathinaikos, closer to home, was very…
Lede of the day, via @BennettDurando: Anyone lucky enough to witness a series-clinching win by the 2025 Rockies might as well make a wish. It’s about as fleeting and rare as spotting a shooting star over Coors Field. #Rockies #MLB #DenverNewspapers denverpost.com/2025/07/19/roc…
I’m at Coors Field tonight covering Rockies-Twins, which will be starting 35 minutes late at 6:45 MT after a 10-minute monsoon threatened Star Wars Night at the ballpark.
Most important development of #Nuggets' offseason? Jamal Murray putting in work in Las Vegas. My @DPostSports column: denverpost.com/2025/07/19/jam…

DaRon Holmes w/19-17-5 last night. As he recovered from torn Achilles, his parents still made it to a few Nuggets games. His mom would send photos of him at the end of the bench to a family group chat. “We spotted him!” Now they get to see him in action: denverpost.com/2025/07/12/dar…
Caught up with David Adelman briefly in Las Vegas, where he clarified what he means by “point center” and said the rest of Denver’s second unit around Jonas Valanciunas is “going to be an open competition.” denverpost.com/2025/07/14/jon…

Anyone watching this Nuggets summer league game?
This is beautiful.
BREAKING: Nine-time NBA All-Star Damian Lillard is finalizing a three-year, $42 million contract to return to the Portland Trail Blazers, sources tell ESPN. Deal is expected to include a player option in 2027-28 and a no-trade clause. A storybook reunion home for the 35-year-old.
Vlatko Cancar posted a really sweet goodbye to the Nuggets on Instagram earlier today.
Summer League ejection: Nuggets’ EJ Liddell thrown out for a flagrant 2 against Toronto. He already had a technical foul earlier in the fourth quarter.
DaRon Holmes II adopted a puppy last year as he navigated a torn Achilles. While Red Velvet grew rapidly, Holmes’ NBA career was stuck on hold. Yet he wouldn’t let himself feel discouraged. “This is Round 2. A restart at the place where this went left.” denverpost.com/2025/07/12/dar…
🏀 NEW: Who shows up at a stranger's house, unannounced, to watch a #Nuggets game with a dying Denver fan? 🫂 Michael Porter Jr. may be your Lex Luthor. But to this family, he'll always be Superman. @DenverPost column: denverpost.com/2025/07/13/mic… #MileHighBasketball #NBA #Denver…
