Preview: Nuggets open 2018 Summer League against Timberwolves

Professional NBA basketball has returned!

With the draft being old news, and the busiest time of free agency over, the Nuggets youngest players are headed to Las Vegas to compete in the 2018 Summer League. The team, headlined by Malik Beasley, Monte Morris, Tyler Lydon, and Thomas Welsh, will compete in a minimum of five games — three scheduled games, and two tournament games.

This is a chance for players like Monte Morris to show the front office that he’s deserving of the backup point guard position with the team, and a guaranteed contract.
