The Nuggets on Friday announced their 16-player roster for the NBA summer league in Las Vegas. All four 2016 draft picks are on the team, along with Colorado native and former Wyoming guard Josh Adams, former Colorado standout Josh Scott and Colorado State product Antwan Scott.
Petr Cornelie, Juancho Hernangomez, Malik Beasley and Jamal Murray will travel with the team to Las Vegas, but Beasley isn’t expected to play. Beasley suffered a stress fracture in his right tibia midway through his freshman year at Florida State and had surgery to prevent long-term issues. He is expected to make a full recovery.
Nuggets fans also will get to see Murray and second-year point guard Emmanuel Mudiay in action. Mudiay averaged 12.8 points as a rookie. Starting shooting guard Gary Harris also is on the summer league roster.
Former BYU star Jimmer Fredette is joining the Nuggets in Las Vegas. Fredette was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks in 2011 and has played for short periods of time with four NBA teams.
Denver’s first game in Las Vegas is next Friday against Minnesota. The Nuggets also will face Memphis and Miami before the tournament begins.
