Nuggets' 3rd-year forward on thin ice after shaky summer league performances
Utah Jazz v Denver Nuggets | Dustin Bradford/GettyImagesWe’re now two Nuggets games into the Las Vegas Summer League, and third-year forward Hunter Tyson is yet to make an impact. Tyson was drafted early in the 2nd round of the 2023 draft, and Calvin Booth and company chose to sign him to a four-year contract.
Tyson has failed to earn an NBA rotation spot through his first two seasons, making this season truly make or break as his contract for 2026-27 is a team option. You don’t want to overreact too much to summer league, but it’s definitely concerning when a player entering his third season fails to stand out.
