Nuggets Add Ryan Nembhard on Two-Way Deal
Free agent point guard Ryan Nembhard agreed to a two-way contract with the Nuggets, and the signing was later made official. Denver waived Simpson in a corresponding move. Nembhard had become an unrestricted free agent after being cut by the Hornets over the weekend.
Ryan Nembhard, a point guard, has reached a two-way agreement with Denver. The Nuggets later confirmed the deal, adding him as a free agent. To make room, the team waived Simpson in a corresponding roster move.
Nembhard entered this stage as an unrestricted free agent. That status followed Charlotte's decision to cut him over the weekend. The sequence places Denver's signing within the broader flow of trades and free agency, where teams adjust rosters through agreements and corresponding waivers.
The move could affect Denver's roster depth and the opportunities available to Nembhard and Simpson, while fans and analysts may see it as a small but meaningful free-agency transaction. It may also shape how the Nuggets manage two-way players and roster flexibility, though its broader societal impact is likely limited to the basketball community and those directly involved.
