Denver fills an open roster spot with a prominent two-way player
The Denver Nuggets made a move on forward Spencer Jones just before NBA action resumed after the All-Star break.
The Nuggets, needing enough players to meet the minimum roster requirement, decided to convert Jones’ two-way contract to a standard contract for the remainder of the 2025-26 NBA seasonas reported by Brett Siegel of ClutchPoint.
“Nuggets are turning two-way Spencer Jones into a standard deal,” Siegel wrote in a social media post on X, formerly Twitter.
It’s also worth noting that the 24-year-old Jones already had reached his limit of 50 games for a two-way player in the league.
Now that he’s already guaranteed a roster spot for the remainder of the campaign, he just needs to overcome his concussion injury to return to active status. The former Stanford Cardinal missed the Nuggets’ last three games before the break, though Denver managed to win two of those contests, including a 122-116 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Feb. 11.
The Nuggets signed the two-way contract to an undrafted contract in 2024. Jones averaged 6.0 points and 3.1 rebounds in 46 games this season. He was quite the threat behind the 3-point line, where he knocked down shots at a 41.1 percent success rate on 2.5 attempts from deep per exit.
The Nuggets will begin a three-game road trip after the break this Thursday when they face the Los Angeles Clippers at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, hopefully with Jones in the lineup.
