Denver Nuggets eye Bogdan Bogdanovic as free‑agent addition while Utah Jazz weigh Jusuf Nurkic contract

The Denver Nuggets are reportedly monitoring Serbian forward Bogdan Bogdanovic, whose contract option is expected to be declined by the Los Angeles Clippers, making him a free agent. Nuggets officials see Bogdanovic’s prior chemistry with Nikola Jokic – the two won Olympic silver in 2016 and a bronze at the Paris 2024 Games – as a potential boost for Denver’s roster depth around the triple‑MVP center.

Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz are evaluating whether to retain center Jusuf Nurkic, also a free agent after a solid season averaging 11 points and 10 rebounds. The Jazz must balance Nurkic’s salary expectations against the upcoming contract of rising big man Walker Kessler, who is projected to command a $140 million deal. The decision will affect the team’s salary cap and front‑court composition for the next season.
