Nuggets agree to Exhibit 10 contract with former Nets, Kings, Mavericks forward
Julio Cortez
The Nuggets will have more NBA experience at training camp.
Kessler Edwards agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract, The Denver Gazette learned Tuesday.
Edwards is a 6-foot-8 forward who has been a 36% 3-point shooter across 178 NBA games with the Nets, Kings and Mavericks. Brooklyn selected the 25-year-old who played collegiately at Pepperdine with the 44th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.
Exhibit 10 contracts are one-year, non-guaranteed contracts that provide a bonus if a player spends at least 60 days with the franchise’s G League affiliate. The Nuggets still have one standard roster spot available, but the team’s two-way spots are taken by Tamar Bates, Spencer Jones and Curtis Jones.
HoopsHype first reported Edwards’ deal with Denver.
