Overview
- The Nuggets agreed to terms for Lonnie Walker IV on a one-year, $3.3 million agreement that sources describe as a training-camp deal requiring him to earn a roster spot.
- The contract is reported to be non-guaranteed for now so it does not count against Denver’s salary cap unless the team later guarantees it.
- Walker returns from a productive 2025–26 season with Maccabi Tel Aviv, where he averaged about 15.2 points per game and had an NBA exit clause in his overseas contract.
- The signing is expected to fill the club’s 14th roster spot and likely reduces the chance of re-signing Bruce Brown while shaping how the Nuggets handle Peyton Watson’s restricted free‑agent situation.
- What to watch next: Walker’s performance in training camp for a final roster decision and whether Denver uses the preserved flexibility to conclude Watson’s talks or make other moves after crossing the second apron.
