Nuggets reportedly bringing back unlikely player at trade deadline

The Denver Nuggets are considering bringing back veteran guard Monte Morris in a trade as the trade deadline approaches.

The Denver Nuggets are considering bringing back veteran guard Monte Morris, currently with the Detroit Pistons, in a trade as the trade deadline approaches. Despite only averaging five points per game, the Nuggets are in need of a backup off the bench and are considering Morris for the role.

Morris, who spent the first five seasons of his career with the Nuggets, is well-loved in Denver and is familiar with the team's system. Although he was not part of the championship team last season, he has proven himself as a reliable player, averaging 10.5 points and 3.7 assists per game during his time with the Nuggets. He also has a knack for clutch play, making him a valuable asset off the bench.

While Morris' current stats with the Pistons may not be impressive, his playmaking abilities and familiarity with the Nuggets' system make him a potential candidate for a reunion with the team. With his impending free agency, the Nuggets may see value in bringing Morris back, especially given his ability to lead a second unit and provide a different dynamic than the current backup guard, Reggie Jackson.

As the trade deadline approaches, the Nuggets are weighing their options and considering the potential return of Morris to bolster their roster for the remainder of the season. With the possibility of a reunion on the horizon, the Nuggets may be looking to add a familiar face to their lineup in hopes of strengthening their bench for the playoff push.
