Lonnie Walker IV, Nuggets Agree To One-Year, $3.3M Deal
The veteran guard returns to the NBA after two seasons overseas as Denver adds backcourt depth on a $3.3 million contract, ESPN said.
- Lonnie Walker IV signed a one-year, $3.3 million deal with the Denver Nuggets, agent George S. Langberg confirmed Wednesday. The veteran guard returns to the NBA after spending last season with Maccabi Tel Aviv in the EuroLeague.
- Walker, an 8th-year veteran, last played in the NBA before his stint overseas. He spent his career with the San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers, Brooklyn Nets, and Philadelphia 76ers before venturing to the EuroLeague.
- Across 342 games and 95 starts, the guard developed his skills primarily as a member of the Spurs. Originally selected with the 18th overall pick, he now provides perimeter experience to the Denver rotation.
- Denver currently has 14 roster spots filled, leaving one opening as negotiations with restricted free agent Peyton Watson continue. The addition of Walker puts the team's payroll about $4.5 million over the second apron.
- Joining Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, Julian Strawther, and Tyus Jones, Walker brings experience to the Denver backcourt. The Nuggets have extended their reach across the Atlantic Ocean, also signing Alpha Diallo earlier this summer.
