Nuggets match Thunder offer sheet to keep Spencer Jones

Denver matched Oklahoma City's two-year, $11.75M offer sheet for forward Spencer Jones, according to Bennett Durando of the Denver Post. Jones said the move cut short his vacation in Colombia for a physical, joking he'd sacrifice the trip for $12 million.

Elsewhere at Nuggets media day, coach David Adelman said DeMar DeRozan will handle bench ball-handling duties without disrupting the starting lineup, per Vinny Benedetto of the Denver Gazette.

Executives also discussed the offseason sign-and-trade of Peyton Watson to Cleveland, which brought back draft capital rather than a player.
