The Denver Nuggets are already facing changes for the 2025-26 season, with major shifts occurring even before the current offseason kicks off. Owner Josh Kroenke has made a surprising move by firing reigning championship coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth, appointing David Adelman as the interim head coach and Ben Tazer as the interim GM. Although Adelman has secured his long-term position, Tazer's future remains uncertain.

Despite finishing the regular season with a commendable 50-32 record, the Nuggets' playoff journey ended in disappointment against the Oklahoma City Thunder, where injuries hampered key players Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon. As the offseason approaches, former MVP Russell Westbrook is expected to decline his player option and enter free agency, after providing reliable scoring off the bench. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are looking to leverage their financial flexibility to bolster their roster around stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray as they aim for championship glory.
