In need of more depth on the wing, and additional defensive presence, the Nuggets signed free-agent forward Alonzo Gee on Wednesday. He passed a physical in the afternoon and was in uniform for the game against Phoenix.
He did not go through shootaround so the game was the first opportunity for Nuggets coach Michael Malone to coach him.
“I’ve been a fan of him from afar for many years,” Malone said. “Obviously he was here prior to my getting the job last year.”
Gee was with the Nuggets in 2014 while Brian Shaw was the coach.
