David Roddy Heads Into 2026-27 Clean on the Injury Report After a Five-Game Nuggets Stretch
David Roddy is back with the Denver Nuggets for the 2026-27 season, coming off a limited five-game look last season in which he flashed efficient shooting in a bench role. He is not on the injury report and carries no injury history into the year. With no rumors attached to his name, the opener is the next thing on his calendar.

David Roddy played just five games for Denver last season, a small sample but a productive one. He averaged 8.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.2 blocks in 14.6 minutes a night, and he barely turned the ball over, at 0.4 per game. The efficiency stood out more than the volume: 50.0 percent from the field, 27.3 percent from three, and a perfect 100.0 percent from the foul line, for a true shooting mark of 60.5 percent. His usage rate sat at 19.1, respectable for a role player working in short bursts. Plus-minus for the stretch was a modest plus-1.0. It is not a full season of data, but it is a clean one, and it gives Denver a clear baseline for what Roddy looks like when healthy and on the floor.
02Inside the Five-Game StretchThe five games break down as four wins and one loss.
The five games break down as four wins and one loss. Roddy's biggest night came against the Spurs on April 12, a win in which he put up 15 points and 13 rebounds in 33.5 minutes, a plus-7.0 for the game. Two nights earlier, against Oklahoma City on April 10, he scored 21 points in just 25.7 minutes in another win, finishing plus-14.0. The other three games were quieter: 2 points and 1 rebound in 1.6 minutes in a win over Utah on April 1, 2 points and 4 rebounds in 5.8 minutes in a win over Houston on March 11, and a scoreless line with 1 assist in 6.4 minutes in a loss to New York on March 6, where he finished minus-13.0. The swing in minutes from under two to over thirty shows how variable his role was.
