The Denver Nuggets have picked up their third-year rookie scale team option for guard Bones Hyland. Hyland will be under contract for $2.3 million for the 2023-24 season.
As a rookie, Hyland averaged 10.1 points in 19 minutes per game off Denver's bench. As a second-year player, Hyland is expected to take on a bigger role for the Nuggets. The 6-foot-3 guard should be the primary backup for Jamal Murray, after Denver traded Monte Morris to the Washington Wizards in the offseason.
