Khris Middleton had been flirting with pursuing a contract buyout with the Dallas Mavericks recently. Several contenders, including the Denver Nuggets, were reportedly interested in signing the former Milwaukee Bucks champion to a deal had that happened. However, NBA insider Marc Stein reports that Middleton intends to finish the season in Dallas rather than seek other opportunities.
Denver denied the opportunity to sign Middleton
Had Middleton hit the buyout market, he would have been incredibly in demand, and Denver would have been a justifiable destination. The Nuggets, led by MVP Nikola Jokic and All-Star Jamal Murray, are among the top teams in the Western Conference and have a shot at winning it all.
