As the NBA trade deadline approaches, several teams are reportedly eyeing Chris Boucher, with the Denver Nuggets among those showing strong interest.
According to Ian Begley of SportsNet New York, the Nuggets have taken note of Boucher’s strong performances and are considering him as a potential addition to their roster.
Boucher, 31, is currently averaging 9.9 points and 4.1 rebounds in 17.1 minutes per game for the Toronto Raptors. The versatile forward has been an impactful presence off the bench, contributing to Toronto’s rotation. His ability to stretch the floor and provide energy could be a valuable asset for a contender like the Nuggets.
Boucher’s contract is set to expire at the end of the 2024-25 season. He is currently in the final year of a three-year, $35 million deal. This expiring contract makes him an intriguing option for teams looking to make a push for the playoffs without committing long-term salary cap space.
The Nuggets, who are currently ranked fourth in the Western Conference with a 21-15 record, could use an additional scoring option and defensive presence as they aim for a deep playoff run. With the trade deadline less than a month away, the team is actively looking to bolster its roster in preparation for the postseason.
