According to ESPN’s Chris Haynes, Wilson Chandler plans to opt in to the final year of his contract.
Wilson had until June 30th to decide whether or not he wanted to exercise his 2018-19 player option worth $12.8 million. Chandler played in 74 games this season and averaged 10 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists while shooting 36% from the three-point line. He started at small forward in 71 of those 74 games.
While not surprising, Chandler’s decision to opt in gives the Denver Nuggets some urgency to clear salary cap space heading into the 2018-19 NBA season.
