Nuggets' Collin Gillespie: Logs two steals off bench
Rotowire
Gillespie finished with six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and two steals in 20 minutes during Sunday's 107-104 loss to the Rockets.
Gillespie was on the fringes of Denver's rotation over the first six games of the season, as he totaled just seven minutes of playing time over two appearances during that span. However, he's now played double-digit minutes in four consecutive matchups with Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined, averaging 5.0 points, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 16.3 minutes per game. While Gillespie's overall impact has still been limited, he's racked up multiple steals on two occasions. Murray will likely miss the rest of the month due to his injury, but Gillespie is unlikely to have much fantasy upside as long as the rest of the team stays relatively healthy.

Rotowire
The Nuggets confirmed Sunday that Gillespie will be re-signed on a two-way contract for the 2023-24 season, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
Gillespie missed all of the 2022-23 season while recovering from a gruesome leg injury suffered during his final year of college basketball, but he's returned to full strength during the Las Vegas Summer League, averaging 7.8 points and 4.6 assists in 29.7 minutes across five appearances. He'll join center Jay Huff and forward Braxton Key as Denver's two-way players, but all three will presumably spend most of the 2023-24 season in the G League.

Rotowire
Gillespie (leg) is practicing with the Nuggets' Summer League squad, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
It's unclear if Gillespie will play at all during Summer League, but it's encouraging to see him back at practice after missing all of his rookie season with a gruesome leg injury. He told reporters Tuesday, that he broke his tibia and fibula and dislocated his ankle during a pickup game last offseason. He planned on missing 6-9 weeks, but the recovery process was slower than anticipated. If available, he figures to be a key piece of Denver's Summer League squad over the next two weeks.
