Dikembe Mutombo spent the first five years of his career with the Denver Nuggets, leaving a lasting legacy with the franchise.
Christopher Dempsey of the Denver Post reports that the Nuggets are expected to retire his number this season:
"On Sept. 11, Mutombo will stand on stage at Springfield Symphony Hall to be enshrined into the Hall of Fame. As early as this season, expect Dikembe Mutombo’s number to be retired by the Nuggets as well. Mutombo’s constantly packed schedule would be the only real obstacle in getting it done."
