Aaron Gordon - Inks max extension The Nuggets signed Gordon to a four-year, $133 million max extension Monday, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

Impact Gordon's extension includes a player option and trade kicker, and it should keep him in Denver for the long haul. The 29-year-old is coming off a down year with the Nuggets, during which he averaged 13.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.4 combined steals plus blocks across 31.5 minutes per game. The 10-year vet still shot an efficient 55.6 percent from the field, though he regressed from previous years from downtown while shooting 29.0 percent from deep. Gordon will continue to serve as the club's starting power forward, and with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope departing this offseason, Gordon could get more involved on the offensive side of the ball.

Peyton Watson - Good to go for Thursday Watson (hamstring) will be a full go for Thursday's game against the Thunder for Opening Night, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Watson was able to practice Sunday, and he's also taking part in Monday's 5-on-5 scrimmage. Watson could be a key part of the second unit for Denver after averaging 6.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 blocks in 18.6 minutes across 80 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

Peyton Watson - Full participant in practice Sunday Coach Michael Malone said Watson (hamstring) participated fully in practice for the first time in five weeks Sunday, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Watson is dealing with a nagging hamstring injury, though his full participation in practice bodes well for his potential return to game action in Thursday's regular-season opener against the Thunder. The 22-year-old was limited during training camp and did not appear in a single preseason game, but he will likely return for Opening Night as the club's backup power forward behind Aaron Gordon.

Michael Porter Jr. - Productive in Thursday's outing Porter scored 16 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding eight rebounds in 23 minutes during Thursday's 132-126 preseason win over the Timberwolves.

Impact There wasn't much defense being played Thursday, but that suited Porter just fine. The 26-year-old forward has been in midseason form from the jump during the Nuggets' exhibition schedule, producing 26.2 points per 36 minutes while shooting 61.0 percent from the floor (25-for-41) and 37.5 percent (6-for-16) from three-point range.

Jamal Murray - Leads starters in preseason win Murray scored 25 points (6-13 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 8-8 Ft) while adding five assists, two steals and two blocks in 29 minutes during Thursday's 132-126 preseason win over the Timberwolves.

Impact The Nuggets used their full starting lineup Thursday, and Murray led the group in scoring, although Julian Strawther erupted for 33 off the bench for Denver. Murray hasn't played more than 65 games in a regular season since 2018-19, and staying healthy will be the most important goal in 2024-25 for the 27-year-old point guard. He's remained productive when he's been on the court however, averaging at least 20.0 points, 4.0 assists, 4.0 boards, 2.5 threes and 1.0 steals in three straight seasons.

Julian Strawther - Goes for 33 points off bench Strawther recorded 33 points (8-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 12-13 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a block across 30 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 132-126 preseason win over the Timb...

Impact Strawther will open the 2024-25 regular season in a bench role, as Christian Braun is penciled in as the starter in the backcourt alongside Jamal Murray, but Strawther will certainly put his name in the conversation for a bigger role with more performances such as this one. Strawther looked particularly dangerous from three-point range, and keeping that up in the regular season will undoubtedly lead to a more significant role due to the Nuggets' lack of shooters.
