NBA preseason is officially underway. The Denver Nuggets played two games against the Boston Celtics in Abu Dhabi, dropping both before heading home to continue their training camp and preseason.

Many teams change their training camp roster throughout the preseason in order to take a look at different available players. Denver has a mostly established rotation, but have reportedly brought in a new player to training camp.

Via Michael Scotto of HoopsHype: “The Denver Nuggets have agreed to a deal with Charles Bediako, agent Daniel Green of @GreenSportsMgmt told @hoopshype. Bediako was on a two-way contract with the San Antonio Spurs last season and played Summer League with the Orlando Magic.”

Bediako was on a two-way deal with the San Antonio Spurs last season but did not appear in an NBA game. It will be interesting to see how things develop for him with the Nuggets.

Denver will play the Phoenix Suns on October 13 for their next preseason game.
