The Nuggets released rookie forward Tyler Cook, the team announced Wednesday.
Cook had been on a two-way contract, and the timing could allow him to latch on with another team before the season begins.
Backup point guard PJ Dozier will be converted to the other two-way spot, a league source told The Denver Post.
As it stands, that would leave both two-way spots and 14 of the 15 roster spots filled before the season tips Oct.
