Juancho Hernangomez, Malik Beasley and draft picks Tyler Lydon and Monte Morris will headline the Nuggets’ summer league roster in Las Vegas, which was announced by the team Friday.
The Nuggets open play July 7 against Houston at Cox Pavilion, and the league schedule runs through July 17.
The roster also includes former University of Colorado forward Xavier Johnson and former Boise State guard Thomas Bropleh, who played his prep basketball at George Washington High School. Nikola Radicevic, a 6-foot-5 guard from Serbia the Nuggets selected in the second round in 2015, and Petr Cornelie, a 6-11 forward from France they selected in the second round last summer, will also be on the team.
Not included on the Nuggets roster is Jamal Murray, who is rehabbing from offseason surgery to repair core-related muscle injuries.
Hernangomez, a 6-9 small forward, averaged 4.9 points and three rebounds in 13.6 minutes over 62 games as a rookie last season. Beasley spent much of his rookie season in the D-League but performed well in significant action during Denver’s last two games of the regular season, both victories. Lydon, a 6-9 forward out of Syracuse, was the 24th overall pick in the June 22 NBA draft. The Nuggets selected Morris, the 6-3 point guard out of Iowa State, with the 51st overall pick in the draft.
The Nuggets will be coached by assistant Micah Nori in Las Vegas. The team will begin a four-day minicamp at the Pepsi Center on Monday.
