The Denver Nuggets have tendered a qualifying offer to Two-Way player Markus Howard. He'll now be a restricted free agent.

Howard went undrafted out of Marquette at the 2020 NBA Draft. He signed with Denver and appeared in 37 regular season games. With injuries to the Nuggets backcourt, Howard played in nine playoff games for Denver. He averaged 4.7 points in 12.4 minutes per game in the postseason.
