The Denver Nuggets and Austin Rivers have agreed to a new one-year deal, although the terms remain undisclosed. Austin Rivers, who played 25 times for the Nuggets last season, will give the team a reliable point guard while Jamal Murray continues his recovery from a knee injury.
After spending the first part of last season with the New York Knicks, Rivers was drafted into the Denver Nuggets roster to provide additional support at the guard position.
