According to Mike Singer of The Denver Post, Denver Nuggets forward Jeff Green plans to pick up his $4.5 million player option for next season.
No surprise here as this was the expectation all along, but it officially locks Green onto the Nuggets roster for next season. Green — who will be going into his 15th NBA season next year — was a big contributor for the Nuggets last season starting in 63 of the 75 games he played.
Green slotted into the starting lineup following Michael Porter Jr.’s injury that forced him to miss the rest of the season and did a really nice job playing alongside Nikola Jokic.
