The Denver Nuggets will retire 2015 Hall of Fame inductee and Nuggets legend Dikembe Mutombo‘s jersey at halftime of their home opener against the Portland Trailblazers on October 29. They’ll also wear their “Rainbow Skyline” throwback uniforms, the same uniform Mutombo wore during his rookie season in Denver, to honor the all-time great.
Mutombo’s jersey will be the first Nuggets jersey retired at Pepsi Center but will hang alongside other Nuggets greats like Alex English, David Thompson, Byron Beck,Dan Issel and Doug Moe, who had their numbers previously retired by the franchise before the team moved into it’s current arena.
