BREAKING: Spencer Jones is staying with the Denver Nuggets 👀
The Nuggets paid up. And now Spencer Jones won’t leave town and head to a rival.
The Nuggets matched a two-year, $12 million offer sheet for Jones from the Oklahoma City Thunder. The deadline was Sunday night and Jones will be staying in Denver the next two seasons.
This is a big swing by the Nuggets front office. According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, Denver matching the offer sheet increases their repeater tax penalty from $36.4 million to $68.6 million. Such is life in the way the NBA is currently constructed, but the Kroenke family is apparently willing to deal with it.
