The Denver Nuggets have matched the Oklahoma City Thunder’s fully guaranteed two-year, $12 million offer sheet for Spencer Jones, keeping him with the franchise.

By matching the offer, Denver retains Jones on the same terms presented by Oklahoma City: a two-year agreement worth $12 million, fully guaranteed.

Denver Keeps Jones in Place

The decision prevents the Thunder from adding Jones and allows the Nuggets to maintain continuity on their roster. Offer sheets require the player’s current team to either match the terms or allow him to join the team that extended the deal.

Jones will remain with Denver under the matched contract, while Oklahoma City will have to look elsewhere after its offer was equaled.
