The opportunity to see Emmanuel Mudiay play his first organized basketball game in the United States since leaving high school comes July 10, when the Nuggets play their Las Vegas summer league opener against the Atlanta Hawks on Altitude.
Mudiay, the No. 7 pick in the NBA draft June 25, is the headliner on Denver’s summer league roster. Also on the roster: Jamaal Franklin, Ian Clark, Joffrey Lauvergne and Gary Harris, all of whom played for the Nuggets last season.
Serbian center Nikola Jokic, whom the Nuggets acquired in the second round of the 2014 NBA draft, will play in the summer league too. Antonio Barton, the brother of Nuggets restricted free-agent guard Will Barton, also is on the summer league roster.
The Nuggets will have a four-day minicamp, beginning Monday, before playing summer league games.
