The Nuggets have agreed to a one-year deal worth $3.3MM with free agent wing Lonnie Walker IV, Shams Charania reports for ESPN (via Twitter).
Walker is an athletic, 6’4″ shooting guard who will help bolster Denver’s backcourt depth after they lost Tim Hardaway Jr. and Jalen Pickett this summer.
The 27-year-old out of the University of Miami played for Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel last season, his first year out of the league since being drafted 18th overall by the Spurs in 2018. He averaged 15.2 points on .394/.351/.758 shooting splits in EuroLeague play for Tel Aviv.
Over his last five seasons in the NBA, he averaged 11.3 points in 22.4 minutes while shooting 35.2% from deep. He most recently played 20 games for the Sixers during the 2024/25 season, when he averaged a career-high 12.4 points per game.
Walker taking the Nuggets’ 14th roster spot likely spells the end of Bruce Brown‘s time in Denver, as the team is still looking to bring an end to the Peyton Watson restricted free agency negotiations.
