Former Warriors star joins Nikola Jokic, Nuggets coverage

The Denver Nuggets are set to feature a new broadcast team ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season, with plenty of expertise and analysis from a former NBA star.

The Nuggets have announced their new broadcast team for the 2026-27 NBA season, headlined by the addition of Jason Richardson.

Richardson will serve as the newest studio analyst for Altitude Sports, joining play-by-play announcer Noah Reed and lead color analyst Katy Winge.

Jason Richardson joins new Nuggets television coverage crew

Jason Richardson is a 14-year NBA veteran who emerged as one of the most electrifying athletes and dunkers during his time.

He played for five different teams during his career, but made a lasting impression as a core member of the Golden State Warriors for six seasons after being drafted by the franchise with the fifth overall pick of the 2001 NBA Draft.

Wearing a Warriors uniform, Richardson became a back-to-back NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion in 2002 and 2003. He played a pivotal role in Golden State's "We Believe" era that eliminated MVP Dirk Nowitzki and his 67-win Dallas Mavericks in the opening round of the 2007 NBA Playoffs.

He last played in 2014-15 for the Philadelphia 76ers.

"Always been on the other side playing ... Now I get to see the basketball on the outside, looking in," Richardson said upon joining the Nuggets' coverage team.

The Nuggets have made a significant change to their broadcast team after longtime play-by-play announcer Chris Marlowe and color analyst Scott Hastings were dismissed this offseason.
