The Nuggets have waived guard Bryce Wills, according to NBA.com’s transactions log.
Wills, who was a member of Denver’s Summer League team in Las Vegas in July, went undrafted out of Stanford in 2021 and has played in the G League for the last two years, spending time with the Capital City Go-Go as well as the Nuggets’ affiliate, the Grand Rapids Gold.
In 44 games last season for Grand Rapids, Wills averaged 5.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 22.3 minutes per contest, with a shooting line of .463/.340/.485. He’s known for more his defense than his offensive ability, having been named to the Pac-12’s All-Defensive team in 2020.
Wills inked an Exhibit 10 contract and will be heading to the Gold once again in 2023/24. If he spends at least 60 days with Grand Rapids, he could earn a bonus worth up to $75K.
Denver’s roster is down to 18 players, the regular season limit.
