* One-year veteran-minimum deals: Tyus Jones ($3,876,529 salary), DeMar DeRozan ($3,876,529 salary), Marvin Bagley III ($3,506,659 salary). Each counts against the cap at the two-year minimum shown in the table; the league covers the rest of the salary.

* Aaron Gordon: Spotrac cap hit. Basketball-Reference lists $33,658,037, which includes $1.68M in unlikely incentives.

Sources & notes

The player list, numbers, positions, height, weight, age and college come from ESPN. Each name links to the player’s ESPN page. The list is checked against the Nuggets’ official roster on nba.com, which also supplies experience (completed NBA seasons; “Rookie” means none) and the coaching staff. Two-way and camp tags come from the Nuggets’ official transactions as reported by Hoops Rumors, RealGM and Spotrac. Two-way players can be active for up to 50 regular-season games and cannot play in the playoffs unless promoted. Exhibit 10 and camp deals are non-guaranteed.

Cap hits come from Spotrac’s 2026–27 Nuggets cap table and are checked against Basketball-Reference (checked Wed Sep 30, 2026). Two-way and non-guaranteed camp contracts carry no listed cap hit, so none is shown.
