Nuggets Sign Bryce Hopkins to Two-Way Deal
27 Aug
Summary
- Nuggets signed second-round pick Bryce Hopkins to a two-way contract.
- Hopkins joins Trevon Brazile as the second signed rookie for Denver.
- Hopkins is expected to develop with the Grand Rapids Gold in the G League.
The Denver Nuggets have finalized their rookie signings by agreeing to a two-way contract with 49th-overall pick Bryce Hopkins. This deal, reached weeks after his June selection, means both Hopkins and 35th-overall pick Trevon Brazile are now officially under contract.
The Nuggets' roster construction remains a work in progress, with 14 players on traditional contracts and K.J. Simpson as their sole two-way player before Hopkins' signing.
Hopkins, who played for St. John's, averaged 13.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.9 assists last season. Development will be key, with an emphasis on his defense and outside shooting.
It is anticipated that Hopkins will primarily play for the Grand Rapids Gold in the G League during the 2026-27 season to hone his skills. Denver still has two roster spots available, potentially for a veteran minimum player and another two-way contract.
