RICHMOND, Va. -- The NBA's Denver Nuggets have signed former Richmond Spiders forward Grant Golden, the organization announced Monday.Â
Golden, a four-time All-Atlantic 10 selection who was named to the A-10's All-Tournament Team after leading Richmond to a conference title in March, inked an Exhibit 10 deal with Denver. An Exhibit 10 contract provides financial incentives for a player to stay with an organization's NBA G League affiliate if he does not make the regular season roster.Â
Golden played with the Atlanta Hawks during July's NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.Â
Golden is only player in Richmond history with 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. He ranks second in program history in scoring, third in rebounds, and fourth in assists.Â
The Grizzlies training camp will be held at UC San Diego in San Diego, Calif. and begin on Tuesday, September 27. Denver's first preseason game is Monday, October 3 vs the Oklahoma City Thunder.Â
