One of the Nuggets’ breakout stars of NBA Summer League has earned himself an extended stay.
Curtis Jones and the Nuggets have agreed to a two-way contract that will keep him with the franchise for the 2025-26 season, a league source confirmed Sunday afternoon.
Jones led the Nuggets in scoring over five games the past two weeks in Las Vegas, averaging 14.6 points on 54.9% shooting from the field and 46.7% from 3-point range. The undrafted rookie out of Iowa State also averaged 4.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists for the Summer Nuggets, who went 2-3 in Sin City.
Jones played four college seasons between Buffalo and Iowa State. The 6-foot-5 guard came off the bench for the majority of his 71 games with the Cyclones over the past two seasons, culminating in a senior year that saw him earn Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year honors while averaging 17.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists on 43.0% shooting.
With his addition, the Nuggets have now filled all three of their two-way slots on the roster. Second-year forward Spencer Jones and rookie guard Tamar Bates account for the other two spots. The two-way signing does not affect the team’s 15-man roster, however, meaning Denver still has one open roster spot that it can either choose to fill or leave open.
Nuggets executive Ben Tenzer told reporters on Friday that the team did not feel any pressure to address that opening before training camp in late September.
“We’re going to be patient right now,” Tenzer said. “We feel really good about where the roster’s at. And if we feel like it’s important to add a 15th, we will. But no pressure right now.”
