The Denver Nuggets have waived Axel Toupane, D.J. Kennedy, and Jakarr Sampson. The team announced the release of those three players this morning, ahead of Saturday’s practice and an up-coming two-game road trip.
Although Toupane and Sampson did not play very much this preseason, it is still a tiny bit of a surprise that they were let go from the team. Both players joined the roster last season and entering camp, appeared to have the upper hand on the lone available roster spot. Both Sampson and Toupane provided perimeter defense which was a need for the Nuggets last season.
