ANALYSIS: After it was reported that Millsap was leaning towards taking a deal with the Boston Celtics, the veteran power forward will continue his career in Denver, which started in 2017 on a free-agent deal. Denver has lost Jerami Grant and Mason Plumlee, so keeping Millsap is big for the Nuggets front court. With JaMychal Green also signing in Denver, Millsap may come off the bench for the Nuggets next season depending on how head coach Michael Malone wants to set his rotation.
