Nuggets' DeMar DeRozan: Quiet outing off bench
DeRozan recorded two points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in nine minutes during Sunday's 133-128 preseason win over Chicago.
DeRozan struggled offensively in limited action, missing all four of his field-goal attempts while coming off the bench. The veteran forward has played fewer than 12 minutes in each of his three preseason appearances, suggesting Denver is managing his workload ahead of the regular season. His reduced preseason minutes shouldn't necessarily indicate a diminished regular-season role.

Nuggets' DeMar DeRozan: To have high usage off bench
DeRozan appears set to operate as the focal point of Denver's second unit this season, with head coach David Adelman planning to put the ball in the veteran forward's hands frequently, according to Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette.
The plan provides a strong indication that the Nuggets intend to keep their starting five intact while utilizing DeRozan as their primary offensive option off the bench. The 37-year-old has spent nearly his entire career as a starter, but his scoring and playmaking ability could give Denver a dependable offensive engine whenever Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are off the floor.

DeMar DeRozan: To sign with Nuggets
The Nuggets are signing DeRozan (hamstring) on Friday, per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com.
The Nuggets may have lost Peyton Watson to the Cavaliers earlier this week, but they've quickly made a move to upgrade their roster. DeRozan, a six-time All-Star, should assume a significant role with Denver after averaging 18.4 points, 4.1 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 31.2 minutes per game across 77 regular-season appearances for the Kings in 2025-26. The veteran forward is in line for a usage decrease playing alongside Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, and it remains to be seen if he'll unseat either Christian Braun or Cameron Johnson for a starting position in 2026-27.

DeMar DeRozan: Waived by Kings
The Kings waived DeRozan (hamstring) on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
With the Kings unable to find a suitable trade, the two sides will simply move on. With this news, DeRozan suddenly becomes one of the most intriguing free agents on the open market. In 2025-26, DeRozan averaged 18.4 points, 4.1 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 31.2 minutes per game across 77 regular-season appearances.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Destination unsettled for 2026-27
DeRozan (hamstring) could be working with a new point guard in 2026-27 after Sacramento took Darius Acuff with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
DeRozan's stay with Sacramento is certainly not guaranteed, though. The expectation is that the Kings will waive the veteran forward if they're unable to find a suitor in trade talks, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. If DeRozan ends up sticking around with the Kings, he'll be trying to bounce back after averaging 18.4 points per game in 2024-25, his lowest total since 2012-13.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Ruled out Tuesday
DeRozan is out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to right hamstring soreness.
It's set to be a rare absence for the star forward, who's sidelined for just the third time all year. With DeRozan out of action Tuesday, Daeqwon Plowden figures to jump into the starting lineup at small forward while veterans Malik Monk and Doug McDermott likely see an uptick in playing time.
