The Denver Nuggets have waived Jarnell Stokes. 

Stokes, 6-9, 263, signed with Denver on Sept. 15, 2016, appearing in two games and averaging 1.5 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 3.5 minutes.

The third-year big man has appeared in a total of 28 career games (two starts) for Memphis, Miami and Denver, averaging 2.4 points and 1.4 rebounds in 5.4 minutes per game. He joined Denver after being named MVP of the D-League and leading the Sioux Falls Skyforce to a championship during the 2015-16 season.

The Denver Nuggets are finalizing a deal to sign Alonzo Gee.

With Gary Harris out for four weeks, Gee will give the Nuggets depth on the wing.

Gee was a final cut by the New Orleans Pelicans during the preseason.

Gary Harris could be out up to four weeks with a foot injury.

Harris previously missed five weeks with a groin injury.

Harris is averaging 10.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 22.8 minutes per game over five games this season for the Denver Nuggets.
