Nuggets Cut Papanikolaou: Team Impact from Release
The Denver Nuggets released forward Kostas Papanikolaou before the January 10th date where his contract would have become guaranteed as Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
By releasing the versatile forward, Denver clears Papanikolaou’s full $4.8 million salary for 2015-16.
The move not only saves money, but is a showing of the Nuggets finally getting healthy. As Gallinari has returned from his ankle injury; Mudiay nears the same task. In addition, the Bosnian Beast, Jusuf Nurki\u0107, too has come back to getting healthy with his minutes increasing the past two games.
