Jameer Nelson was officially waived by the Nuggets in a move announced Thursday morning signaling an end to the veteran’s two-and-a-half year run in Denver.
In a heartfelt message on Twitter, Nelson thanked the Nuggets organization and the city of Denver for their continued support over the past few years.
“Most importantly I would like to thank my teammates. You allowed me to be me and lead in the locker room,” Nelson said. “Each one of you had my back and you put your trust in me to be your point guard, your leader.”
Nelson’s full message is below:
Nelson, 35, was acquired from the Celtics in 2015 when Denver dealt Nate Robinson to Boston in exchange for the point guard’s services.
