Boopie Miller joins the Denver Nuggets, appearing on the club's official roster as of Tuesday, Sept. 22. The rookie guard arrives from free agency with no NBA line from last season and no contract on file yet.
The move
Boopie Miller, a 23-year-old rookie guard, joins the Denver Nuggets from free agency, having been on no NBA roster before. He appeared on the club's official roster as of Tuesday, Sept. 22. No report preceded the move; none is logged ahead of the roster listing. The Nuggets now carry 19 players, 15 on the standard roster plus three on two-way deals, and Miller is among that group.
The money
Miller's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so his cap hit and any years are not available. The Nuggets carry a payroll of $221.1 million across 14 contracts for 2026-27, already over the first apron. The cap for 2026-27 is set at $165.0 million, the tax line at $200.4 million, the first apron at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million.
The fit
Miller has no NBA line from last season, entering as a rookie. He joins a Denver backcourt where Jamal Murray led all guards a year ago at 35.4 minutes and 25.4 points per game, with Christian Braun next at 31.8 minutes and 12.0 points. Cameron Johnson and Peyton Watson also logged more than 29 minutes a night. The Nuggets now list 19 players on the roster, 15 on the standard limit plus three two-way deals, a crowded backcourt and wing mix as camp opens.
