Nuggets defensive coordinator Ryan Saunders will not return next season under new head coach David Adelman, a source told The Denver Post.
The Nuggets are not renewing the contracts of at least four assistant coaches, also including Popeye Jones, Charles Klask and Stephen Graham, a source told The Post, confirming a report by Chris Haynes. All four were on the coaching staff for the 2022-23 season, when Denver won its first NBA championship in franchise history.
Contracts are set to expire this offseason for the entire coaching staff. Other assistant coaches are still waiting to hear if their deals will be renewed, a source said.
