   Nuggets Sign DeMar DeRozan After Peyton Watson Trade

   The Denver Nuggets have signed six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan to a one-year deal following the trade of Peyton Watson. DeRozan, 37, averaged 18.4 points, 4.1 assists, and 2.9 rebounds last season with the Sacramento Kings. He will join a Nuggets team looking to bounce back after a disappointing 2025-26 season and will likely start alongside Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Jokic. The move comes after Denver traded Watson to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a multi-team deal that also involved the Clippers and Kings.
