Former Gonzaga point guard Ryan Nembhard has signed a two-way contract with the Denver Nuggets for the 2026-27 season. Nembhard, who previously played for the Dallas Mavericks, Atlanta Hawks, and Charlotte Hornets, will join former Gonzaga wing Julian Strawther in Denver and will split his time between the NBA's Nuggets and G League's Grand Rapids Gold in Michigan.
The Nuggets waived guard KJ Simpson to make room for Nembhard. Nembhard's journey with the Nuggets began with a trade from the Mavericks to the Hawks on July 19, followed by a trade from the Hawks to the Charlotte Hornets last week. However, Charlotte intended to waive Nembhard before the start of training camp, making him an unrestricted free agent.
The Mavericks signed Nembhard to a two-way deal last summer and utilized him throughout the regular season, where he averaged 6.6 points, 5.3 assists, and 2.2 rebounds.
