Denver Basketball Team, Nuggets, Faces Off against Opponents
The Denver Nuggets are set to overhaul their coaching staff for the upcoming season, with head coach David Adelman electing not to retain defensive coordinator Ryan Saunders, a source confirmed to our website.
According to the same source and a report by Chris Haynes, four assistant coaches -- Ryan Saunders, Popeye Jones, Charles Klask, and Stephen Graham -- who had been part of the team for the 2022-23 season will not have their contracts renewed. All four had been working under Michael Malone, whose departure led to Adelman's promotion from interim to full-time coach. Their contracts were set to expire in May 2025.
The new coaching hires under Adelman for the 2025-2026 season have yet to be announced publicly. Adelman, who joined the Nuggets as an assistant coach in 2017, is currently without a confirmed assistant coaching staff for the upcoming season.
