The Nuggets have agreed to a one-year deal worth $3.3MM with free agent wing Lonnie Walker IV, Shams Charania reports for ESPN (via Twitter). It’ll be a minimum-salary contract for Walker, who will earn $3,286,399 while Denver takes on a cap hit of $2,449,421.

Walker is an athletic, 6’4″ shooting guard who will help bolster Denver’s backcourt depth after they lost Tim Hardaway Jr. and Jalen Pickett this summer.

The 27-year-old out of the University of Miami played for Maccabi Tel Aviv last season, his first full year out of the league since being drafted 18th overall by the Spurs in 2018. He averaged 15.2 points per game on .394/.351/.758 shooting splits in EuroLeague play for the Israeli club.

Over his last five seasons in the NBA, Walker averaged 11.3 points in 22.4 minutes per night while shooting 35.2% from deep. He most recently played 20 games for the Sixers during the 2024/25 season, averaging a career-high 12.4 points per game.

It’s unclear if Walker’s deal with the Nuggets will be fully guaranteed, but if they envision him being part of their regular season roster, it likely spells the end of Bruce Brown‘s time in Denver. The team, which already has 13 players on standard guaranteed contracts prior to officially signing Walker, is still looking to resolve Peyton Watson‘s restricted free agency negotiations as well.
