Nuggets Sign Former Bucks Guard to Training Camp Deal
The Denver Nuggets have made a new addition to their training camp roster.
According to Keith Smith of Spotrac, the Nuggets have agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal with James Akinjo.

Akinjo is a smaller, 6-foot-1 guard who’s been a part of multiple G League squads since being undrafted in 2022, and was among those on the Milwaukee Bucks training camp roster before the 2024 season tipped off.
During his last season in the G League, alongside Milwaukee’s affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd, Akinjo averaged 15.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 8.1 assists, and 1.7 steals, shooting 43.6% from the field in over 37 minutes a night. He’s played in 63 total G League games on four different squads since entering the league in 2022.
Before joining the league, Akinjo was a four-year college player who split time with Georgetown, Arizona, and Baylor, where he would spend his final year of eligibility. In his final year at Baylor, Akinjo was selected to Third-Team All-America as a part of the Bears’ 2022 Big 10 championship team, averaging 13.5 points and a conference-leading 5.8 assists.
Following his Exhibit 10 signing, Akinjo will likely be waived from the Nuggets before the regular season begins, and is expected to sign with Denver’s G League affiliate, the Grand Rapids Gold upon his release.
The Nuggets have already signed-and-waived multiple names from their training camp roster to move onto their G League roster later this season, including Terrence Hargrove Jr. and Coleman Hawkins, as well as Javante McCoy and Justyn Hamilton. Now, Akinjo is the latest to fill into that list.
The purpose of a sign-and-waive for Akinjo is to allow him to receive an additional roster bonus before reporting to Denver’s G League affiliate, the Grand Rapids Gold for the season, joining fresh after his best season yet onboard with the Herd.
The Nuggets will need to finalize their official 18-man roster before their regular season campaign kicks off later next week. They’ll have two preseason games on the horizon vs. the Chicago Bulls and the OKC Thunder ahead of taking on their first of 82 on the road vs. the Golden State Warriors.

Louisiana child rape suspect arrested in Denver
DENVER (KKTV) – A man out of Louisiana suspected of child rape is now in custody in Colorado.
The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force said they arrested 43-year-old James Connolly Tuesday morning in Denver.
The U.S. Marshals Service said Connolly was wanted by West Baton Rouge Parish deputies for first-degree rape of a child under 13 years old.
According to the U.S. Marshals, a full-scale investigation into the allegation was launched, and probable cause was found to file charges.
After an arrest warrant was issued on August 12, they said Connolly was likely aware of the warrant and had fled the state.
On Monday, officials reportedly received information that he could be in Denver. The next day, the U.S. Marshals Service said the Colorado Violent Offender Task Force found Connolly working maintenance for a company near I-270 and York Street in Denver under the name “Alli” with a changed physical appearance.
Officials said Connolly was then positively identified and taken into custody.
“The success of this arrest represents a culmination of extensive cooperative investigative efforts between the U.S. Marshals in Baton Rouge, U.S. Marshals Colorado Violent Offender Task Force – Denver, West Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office, Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Englewood Police Department, and Colorado Department of Corrections,” the U.S. Marshals Service said in a release.
He’s currently in the Adams County Jail pending extradition back to Louisiana.

Pat Surtain II Delivers Brutally Honest Take on Broncos’ Final Opponents
If the 11-2 Denver Broncos are going to obtain Super Bowl glory, they can’t be satisfied with their 10-game winning streak. Next up, the 9-3 Green Bay Packers come to Denver for a fixture that will kick off a run of four tricky games to finish out a season that now promises so much more.
When it comes to the Broncos facing adversity, Patrick Surtain II believes the Broncos have their opponents set up right where they want them.
“That’s what the NFL is all about. Each and every week, a new opponent comes,” Surtain said via 9NEWS‘ Scotty Gange. “Obviously, we’ve got some great opponents coming up for the rest of the year. So if we want to be that team we talk about, these are the games that matter and count.”
Green Bay’s Micah Parsons and Jordan Love will present a much more pressing challenge than the hemorrhaging Las Vegas Raiders did this past Sunday. Regardless of the challenges ahead, within the Broncos’ competitive DNA lies a unique blend of wanting to prove even more while also enjoying the fruits of their labor along the way.
Locker room celebrations have centered around the feel-good vibes of the aptly named “Club Dub,” so keeping the ball rolling certainly has its fringe benefits. Ultimately, Surtain revels more in how this team has stuck together through all the challenges, which makes living in this particular moment a whole lot sweeter.
“Yeah, it feels good finally watching the tide change,” Surtain told Gange. “You know, we stuck with it. There’s a bunch of guys that stuck through the process for a couple of years now. And to finally fulfill this moment, this opportunity—11 wins on the season is not easy to do in this league. So, that was something to be very pleased and happy about.”

Double-digit winning streaks don’t happen by accident. The finer details matter, especially as the gruelling 17-game campaign rolls on.
The Broncos’ offense mounted its three longest drives of the season in Sin City, statement moves down the field that dramatically tipped the scales in terms of time of possession. Surtain appreciated the in-game breather it gave him and his unit.
“The offense did a heck of a job with their time of possession,” Surtain said via Gange. “Yes, it was saving our legs a little bit. I don’t even know how many plays we had—pretty sure it was pretty low. But shout out to the offense for that. And defensively, we picked it up.”
While the Kansas City Chiefs have been vanquished from the AFC West picture, the Los Angeles Chargers caught a major break on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles, keeping them still in the divisional hunt.
Moving forward, the smaller issues and stumbles on the defensive side might require Bo Nix and the offense to continue playing the kind of ball that keeps the lights on in the Broncos’ pop-up Club Dub.
Even so, Surtain and his teammates still have everything laid out in front of them
