Denver Nuggets’ biggest changes for 2025-26 NBA season, including trading Michael Porter Jr.

Biggest additions to the Denver Nuggets’ roster

At 30 years old, the Joker is still in the prime of his career. Evidently, the Nuggets executives want to ensure that Jokic is provided with an excellent roster each season.

To do so, the Nuggets have traded for Cameron Johnson ahead of the 2025-26 NBA season. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Here are all the additions that the Nuggets have made to compete for the 2026 NBA Championship.

All things considered, the Nuggets have ensured they added quality role players during the offseason. But the trade for Johnson remains the biggest addition.

After all, the 29-year-old averaged 18.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game last season while starting in 57 games for the Nets.

Biggest departures from the Denver Nuggets’ roster

The Nuggets’ underwhelming performance during the postseason showed there was an obvious need for a few departures.

That included Michael Porter Jr., who had been with the team since 2018. Even Porter Jr. admitted that he let the Nuggets down last season.

With that said, here are all departures from the Nuggets’ roster ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Aside from Porter Jr., Russell Westbrook is another notable star who left the Nuggets this offseason. However, Russ is yet to find a new team as it shows the former NBA MVP is on a steep decline.
