Former NFL star Peyton Manning spoke with Denver Nuggets players ahead of the NBA's restart later this month, according to Altitude Sports' Chris Dempsey.
The Athletic's Nick Kosmider reported Manning's speech "has been in the works since at least December." He added that the 14-time Pro Bowler became a fixture at Nuggets games this year.
While Manning spent the bulk of his playing career (13 years) with the Indianapolis Colts, he became a beloved figure in the Mile High City thanks to his four-year spell with the Denver Broncos.
