The move
David Roddy, a 25-year-old forward entering his fourth season, is no longer on the Denver Nuggets roster as of Monday, Sept. 21. The change was detected from the team's official roster rather than from any advance report; none is logged for this move. Roddy had been with Denver through last season. No destination has been announced, and the club has not commented on where he goes from here.
The money
Roddy's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so his cap figure is unavailable for now. Denver's payroll stands at $221.1 million across 14 contracts for 2026-27, over the first apron. The league cap is $165.0 million, the tax line $200.4 million, the first apron $209.0 million and the second apron $221.7 million. How Roddy's departure shifts those numbers is not yet reflected in the figures on record.
The fit
Last season Roddy played five games for Denver, averaging 8.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 14.6 minutes. The frontcourt and wing minutes went elsewhere: Aaron Gordon logged 27.9 minutes and 16.2 points, Peyton Watson 29.6 minutes and 14.6 points, Christian Braun 31.8 minutes and 12.0 points, and Cameron Johnson 30.5 minutes and 12.2 points. Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokić led all players at 35.4 and 34.8 minutes. Denver now carries 18 players against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
