The Nuggets acquired Thomas Bryant from the Los Angeles Lakers for Davon Reed and three second-round picks, multiple sources told The Denver Post on Thursday.
Bryant, a 6-foot-10 center, is averaging 12.1 points per game and 6.8 rebounds in over 21 minutes per game.
There are no protections on the second-round picks, a source said. The three second-round picks are for 2025, 2026 and 2029, a source said. The Post reported on Wednesday that the Nuggets were on the hunt for a backup five and someone who could crack the playoff rotation.
In Bryant, the Nuggets added a productive reserve center who can help spell Nikola Jokic in the postseason.
