Sources: Nuggets to sign DeMar DeRozan after trading Peyton Watson

The Denver Nuggets are signing six-time NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan for the 2026-27 season, league sources told ClutchPoints on Friday afternoon.

DeRozan, 37, has been available as an unrestricted free agent since the Sacramento Kings waived him in July to create financial flexibility. Only $10 million of DeRozan’s 25.7 million contract with the Kings for the upcoming year was guaranteed this offseason, which is why the Kings decided to part ways with him.

Less than two days after agreeing to a sign-and-trade with Peyton Watson and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Nuggets land DeRozan as a key secondary star and scorer alongside Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.

Throughout his entire career, DeRozan has been known for being a reliable scoring option who has always been readily available.

This past year, he played in 77 games, averaging 18.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game with the Kings while shooting 49.7 percent from the floor.

This is a developing story that will be updated shortly.
