Veteran forward DeMar DeRozan agreed to a one-year, $3.9 million deal with the Denver Nuggets on Friday, league sources confirmed to The Athletic.DeRozan spent the past two seasons with the Sacramento Kings. He had one year and $25.74 million left on a three-year deal that he signed in 2024, but the final season was only partially guaranteed. The Kings waived DeRozan on July 6 from a contract that was guaranteed for $10 million, saving the Kings about $15 million and making DeRozan a free agent.The 37-year-old, known for his midrange shooting proficiency, started all 77 games for the Kings last season, averaging 18.4 points per game and shooting 86.8 percent from the free-throw line. But Sacramento went 22-60, which tied the Utah Jazz for the worst record in the Western Conference. The Kings drafted Arkansas guard Darius Acuff Jr. with the seventh pick in June’s draft.The Detroit Pistons were also in the mix for DeRozan, according to a league source who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been completed. DeRozan will enter his 18th NBA season after the Toronto Raptors selected him with the ninth pick in the 2009 draft out of USC. The Compton, Calif., native is a three-time All-NBA selection and six-time All-Star who ranks 16th on the NBA’s all-time scoring list with 26,711 points. In addition to the Kings and Raptors, DeRozan has also played for the San Antonio Spurs and Chicago Bulls.
