PHOENIX — Devin Harris arrived at the Nuggets’ team hotel for Saturday’s morning breakfast meeting and walk-through, followed by a crash course in the team’s terminology with assistant coaches Wes Unseld Jr. and Micah Nori.
Saturday night, the veteran point guard was thrust into his Nuggets’ debut after being dealt from Dallas to Denver at Thursday’s trade deadline.
Harris acknowledged the initial moments in his new uniform might be challenging. But he’s embracing the opportunity to join the Nuggets’ playoff push for their final 26 games.
“I don’t want to be playing golf right now,” Harris said outside the Nuggets’ locker room at Talking Stick Resort Arena prior to Saturday’s game at the Suns.
