Nuggets’ Will Barton on looming free-agent deadline: “Anything is possible”
Will Barton (5) of the Denver Nuggets hits a three against the Memphis Grizzlies during the third quarter at Ball Arena on Monday, April 19, 2021.Nuggets veteran Will Barton guarded his intentions like he was locking up an opponents’ best player.
Barton, who must decide whether to pick up his $14.6 million player option by July 17, was careful not to tip his hand Sunday while speaking to reporters ahead of his celebrity softball All-Star appearance.
When asked where he expects to be next season, a grin crawled across Barton’s face.
“Playing in the NBA,” he said.
Where do you want to be?
“Still in the NBA,” he said in jest while donning a personalized Rockies “Thrill” jersey.
