DENVER (AP) The Denver Nuggets announced the signing of four-time All-Star Paul Millsap.
A highly coveted free agent, the former Atlanta forward agreed to a three-year deal worth $90 million. He will hold a news conference Thursday in a suburb of Denver where he spent a dozen years as a kid before returning to Louisiana for high school and college.
The 32-year-old Millsap gives the youthful Nuggets a proven veteran to pair with budding star Nikola Jokic. Millsap averaged a career-high 18.1 points last season with 7.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists.
Denver (40-42) improved by seven games this year but still missed the playoffs for a fourth straight season.
