The defending champion Denver Nuggets will acquire the 29th and 32nd overall picks in Thursday's draft in a trade with the Indiana Pacers, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Nuggets will send a 2024 first-round pick and the 40th overall pick in this year's draft to Indiana in the deal, sources said.
The 2024 first-rounder going to the Pacers was acquired by the Nuggets in a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder made during the NBA Finals. It will be the least favorable among the 2024 first-round picks owned by the Thunder, which includes Oklahoma City's, the LA Clippers', Houston's (if 5-30) or Utah's (if 11-30), according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.
