Markus Howard signs two-way contract with Denver Nuggets

Former Marquette guard Markus Howard was not selected in the 2020 NBA Draft Wednesday night, but is now signing a two-way contract with the Denver Nuggets as an undrafted free agent.

According to a report from CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander from July, Howard interviewed with 26 teams during the draft process. Norlander said the Orlando Magic, Golden State Warriors and the Milwaukee Bucks were the most notable.

Howard’s draft projection was unclear heading into Wednesday night due to his size. At 5-foot-11, he would join the very short list of current NBA players shorter than six feet.
