DENVER — Denver Nuggets forward JaMychal Green has declined his $7.6 million player option for 2021-22 and will become an unrestricted free agent, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.
Charania did add that both sides still have a mutual interest in bringing Green back to the Mile High City.
The 31-year-old averaged 8.1 points on 46.3 percent shooting (39.9 percent from three-point range) and 4.8 rebounds in his first season in Denver in 2020-21.
Green was mainly a reserve for the Nuggets, but did start fives for Denver after star guard Jamal Murray went down with a season-ending ACL injury.
