Nuggets waive Jameer Nelson on Wednesday

The Denver Nuggets waived guard Jameer Nelson.

What It Means:

The addition of Richard Jefferson forced the Nuggets to part ways with the 13-year veteran, but he will likely sign with another team in the near future. Nelson's absence creates some job security for Emmanuel Mudiay and Jamal Murray.

In 75 games last season, Nelson averaged 9.2 points, 5.1 assists, 2.6 rebounds, and 0.7 steals per game.
