Impact Caldwell-Pope was listed as questionable ahead of Friday's matchup, but coach Michael Malone said before the game that the 29-year-old was unlikely to play. Jamal Murray and Bruce Brown will start in the Nuggets' backcourt.

Trending towards doubtful Coach Michael Malone noted pregame that Caldwell-Pope is doubtful for Friday's matchup against the Jazz, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Caldwell-Pope suffered an ankle injury in the Nuggets' most recent contest and was questionable leading up to Friday's affair. If he's unavailable Friday, expect Bruce Brown and Christian Braun to pick up the slack.

Listed questionable for Friday Caldwell-Pope (ankle) holds a questionable designation for Friday's game against the Jazz, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Caldwell-Pope exited Wednesday's game against the Lakers after logging 25 minutes due to an ankle tweak. Fortunately, his questionable status would indicate the issue isn't particularly severe, though it remains to be seen if he will miss some time because of it.

Tweaks ankle in Wednesday's win Caldwell-Pope produced 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes in Wednesday's 110-99 win over the Lakers before exiting with 3:09...

Impact The 29-year-old wing was in the midst of a productive night before he limped off to the locker room after he appeared to tweak his ankle on a layup attempt. He was able to rejoin the Nuggets on the bench after being evaluated, but he didn't check back into the contest while Denver took a 15-point lead into the fourth quarter. For the time being, Caldwell-Pope can be viewed as questionable heading into Friday's game against the Jazz, and if he can't suit up, Bones Hyland and Christian Braun would be candidates to absorb some of the vacated minutes.

Report: Nuggets Sign Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to Two-Year Extension Denver acquired the guard in a trade with Washington.

JULY 14, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Gets extension with Denver Caldwell-Pope agreed to a two-year, $30 million contract extension with the Nuggets on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The second year is a player option.

Impact Caldwell-Pope was traded from the Wizards to the Nuggets at the end of June, and it appears he'll be staying in Denver for the 2022-23 season after agreeing to the two-year extension Wednesday. The 29-year-old averaged 13.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals across 30.2 minutes per game with Washington last season, and he should retain a starting role in Denver with Will Barton out of the picture.

Shipped to Denver Caldwell-Pope was traded to the Nuggets from the Wizards on Wednesday, along with Ish Smith, in exchange for Will Barton and Monte Morris, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact In a deal that appears to be a clean, two-for-two trade, the Nuggets and Wizards will essentially swap starting wings and backup point guards. The trade also enables the Nuggets to narrowly dodge the luxury tax line, as Caldwell-Pope's contract is only partially guaranteed, while Smith's deal is fully non-guaranteed for 2022-23, per Evan Sidery of BasketballNews.com. Assuming Denver opts to keep Caldwell-Pope around, he figures to slide into the starting two-guard spot vacated by Barton. Caldwell-Pope averaged 13.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.1 threes per game in Washington last season.
