The Denver Nuggets have signed wing Davon Reed to a third 10-day contract via the hardship exception. Reed will be available for the Nuggets next four games.

Denver coach Michael Malone said that Reed has proven he's an NBA player. Malone was impressed with Reed's confidence and play and would like to keep the wing long-term.

The Washington Wizards have added Alize Johnson to their roster on a 10-day hardship contract. Johnson was recently waived by the Chicago Bulls.

It didn't take very long for Davon Reed to have an impact after signing with the Denver Nuggets. Reed signed with Denver on Saturday morning and played 24 minutes in their game at the New York Knicks on Saturday afternoon.

The Nuggets signed Reed via the hardship exemption. Because Denver is down P.J. Dozier, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr due to long-term injuries and Bones Hyland and Austin Rivers due to health and safety protocols, the team was able to add an additional player to the roster.

Reed scored nine points, making all three of his three-point attempts, in 24 minutes. The Nuggets handled the Knicks with relative ease to get back to .500 on the season.
