The Denver Nuggets are reportedly looking to add another player to their roster, namely experienced guard Vasilije Micic, who currently plays for the Charlotte Hornets.

The potential move has drawn interest due to Micic’s close friendship with Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic. The two were teammates on the Serbian national team and have a strong bond both on and off the court.

Micić, who spent the 2023–2024 season with Oklahoma City, was traded to the Charlotte Hornets along with Dāvis Bertāns, Tre Mann, a 2024 second-round pick, a 2025 second-round pick and cash in exchange for Gordon Hayward.

In 30 regular season games with the Hornets, Micić averaged 10.8 points, 6.2 assists and 1.8 rebounds while shooting 43.7% from the field.

Micić is a star of the EuroLeague and has won the EuroLeague Championship twice (2021, 2022), won the EuroLeague Final Four MVP title twice (2021, 2022) and was named EuroLeague MVP in 2021.

Micic, a talented guard known for his playmaking and scoring ability, could be a valuable addition to the Nuggets’ backcourt. His familiarity with Jokic’s style of play could lead to seamless chemistry and add an extra dimension to Denver’s offensive tactics.
