Denver Nuggets Champion Bruce Brown Still a Free Agent
Denver Nuggets champion Bruce Brown is still searching for a new team after spending the 2025-2026 NBA season with the Nuggets. Brown's free agency status has been ongoing for a month.
What Happened?
Brown, 29, spent the 2022-2023 season with the Nuggets, playing in 80 games (31 starts). He averaged 28.5 minutes per game, shooting 48.3% from the field and knocking down 35.8% of his shots from three. Brown posted averages of 11.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.
Why It Matters for Denver Nuggets
After a 20-game postseason run, which ended with a championship victory, Brown hit the free agency market. He inked a two-year deal with the Indiana Pacers. During the 2023-2024 NBA season, Brown was traded to the Toronto Raptors. In the following season, Brown was moved to the New Orleans Pelicans. When Brown hit the free agency market once again in 2025, he inked a one-year contract with the Nuggets, hoping to repeat the same success he had in 2023.
What Comes Next?
Brown appeared in all 82 games for the Nuggets in the 2025-2026 season, playing 24.4 minutes per game. He shot 47.5% from the field and knocked down 38.5% from deep, producing 7.9 points per game. Despite his value to a winning club, teams seem to be waiting until deeper into the offseason before giving the two-time Nugget a call.
Last result: Minnesota Timberwolves 110-98 Denver Nuggets (2026-05-01). Recent form (last 5): 2W-0D-3L (LLWWL, most recent first); lost the last 2. The Denver Nuggets' playoff hopes are still alive, but they need to pick up the pace to secure a spot in the postseason. With Brown still on the market, it remains to be seen which team will be able to secure his services and bolster their roster for the remainder of the season.
