Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is set to depart from the Denver Nuggets after contributing to the team’s 2023 championship victory during his two-year tenure.
The 31-year-old shooting guard is expected to decline his $15 million player option for the upcoming season, opting to explore free agency instead.
According to NBA reporter Mike Singer, the Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers, and Orlando Magic have emerged as frontrunners to secure Caldwell-Pope’s services. These teams are seen as potential destinations that could entice him away from Denver.
In the recently concluded season, Caldwell-Pope averaged 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game, playing an integral role for the Nuggets.
As he enters the next phase of his career, Caldwell-Pope is seeking a longer-term contract that aligns with his veteran status and contributions to winning teams.
The interest from multiple teams underscores Caldwell-Pope’s value as a reliable three-and-D player in today’s NBA landscape.
