2025–26 Denver Nuggets season

The 2025–26 Denver Nuggets season was the 50th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The season marked the first since the 2014–15 season without Michael Malone as head coach, following his dismissal on April 8, 2025.[1] On May 22, the Nuggets hired David Adelman as their full-time head coach.[2] The season also marks the first with Ben Tenzer serving as executive vice president of basketball operations and Jon Wallace as executive vice president of player personnel, jointly succeeding Calvin Booth, who was relieved of his duties as general manager on April 8, 2025.

On Christmas Day, center Nikola Jokić became the first player in league history to have a 55–15–15 game in an overtime win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, he suffered a left knee injury only four days later and missed the next four weeks.[3]

On March 27 against the Utah Jazz, Jamal Murray broke the franchise single season three point shots record, surpassing Michael Porter Jr.,[4] shooting a high volume at a high percentage.[5]

On March 31, the Nuggets clinched the playoffs for the eighth consecutive season following a win by the Orlando Magic over the Phoenix Suns. On April 6, they surpassed their win total from the previous season following a win over the Portland Trail Blazers. They closed the regular season with a 54–28 record and 12 straight wins, tying the second-longest regular season winning streak in franchise history. As the third seed, they faced the sixth-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round, marking their third playoff meeting in the last four seasons. By winning Game 1, they extended their winning streak to 13, securing sole possession of the second-longest streak in franchise history including playoffs.[6] However, they lost the series to Minnesota in six games.

Draft

edit

The Nuggets entered the 2025 NBA draft without holding any selections, as they had traded their original first- and second-round picks to the Orlando Magic (as it landed outside its top-5 protection when the Nuggets made the 2025 NBA playoffs) and the Minnesota Timberwolves (eventually landed with the Phoenix Suns), respectively.[7] This made them the only team to begin the draft without a pick. However, by the conclusion of the draft, they were joined by the Houston Rockets, whose pending trades—most notably the trade to acquire Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns—were expected to become official by July 6.[8][9]
