Six-time NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan agreed to a one-year, $3.9 million contract with the Denver Nuggets, according to multiple reports, after the Sacramento Kings waived him earlier this offseason. The 37-year-old forward was scheduled to earn $25.7 million in 2026-27, with $10 million guaranteed. DeRozan also drew interest from the Miami Heat, Washington Wizards and New Orleans Pelicans before choosing Denver. In his 17th NBA season, he averaged 18.4 points, 4.1 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 77 games for Sacramento while shooting 49.7% from the field. It was his first season since 2012-13 averaging fewer than 20 points. The agreement followed Denver's five-team sign-and-trade (a trade involving a free agent's signing rights), which sent restricted free agent Peyton Watson to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Nuggets received forward Julian Reese from Washington, an unprotected 2031 first-round pick from Cleveland and a 2032 second-round pick from Sacramento. DeRozan ranks 16th on the NBA's career scoring list with 26,711 points and fourth among active players. He has averaged 21.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.0 steals across 1,264 career games, including 1,252 starts.
