Nuggets' Jay Huff: Joins Denver via two-way deal
Rotowire
Huff agreed to a two-way deal with the Nuggets on Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Huff has made only 11 NBA appearances between stops with the Lakers and Wizards over the last two seasons. However, the seven-footer turned in impressive per-minute averages during his brief stint with Washington late in the 2022-23 campaign and could get the chance to carve out more of a foothold at the NBA level in 2023-24 as he joins a Nuggets squad lacking in much dependable depth behind starter Nikola Jokic. If Huff can't surpass the likes of Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan on the depth chart, he could end up seeing most of his action with the Nuggets' G League affiliate early on in the campaign.

Huff posted 14 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 134-116 loss to the Hawks.
Huff has supplanted Taj Gibson for the backup center role in both of the Wizards' past two games and based on how he's performed, the 24-year-old Virginia production looks poised to remain Daniel Gafford's top understudy for the final two contests of the season. He followed up a 17-point, nine-rebound performance in Tuesday's 140-128 loss to the Timberwolves with another solid line in the second leg of the back-to-back set, and Huff actually outpaced Gafford (23 minutes) in terms of playing time.
