Austin Rivers - 2021-22 per game statistics
The story of the regular season
Last off-season, Austin Rivers re-signed with the Denver Nuggets on a one-year minimum contract. There were other offers with more money out there, but Rivers chose Denver. He wanted to see things through with the team that gave him a chance after he was out of the league following the 2021 NBA trade deadline. The Nuggets brought him in to bolster their backcourt without Jamal Murray, and Rivers proved himself big time in the 2021 playoffs.
