Jared Dudley, a seasoned NBA veteran, is stepping into a new role as an assistant coach with the Denver Nuggets after a successful stint with the Mavericks. Acknowledging the pivotal influence of Coach Jason Kidd, Dudley expressed gratitude for the opportunity to transition from player to coach. His four-year tenure with the Mavericks resulted in notable player development and two Western Conference Finals appearances, positioning him as a valuable asset for the Nuggets.

The Nuggets, fresh off a solid season, look to rebuild after a surprising coaching change that saw Mike Malone and GM Calvin Booth exit prior to the playoffs. By hiring Rick Adelman as interim head coach and adding Dudley to the staff, the franchise aims for stability and renewed success in the upcoming season.
