Nuggets won’t retain assistant general manager Tommy Balcetis, sources say
The Nuggets are not renewing the contract of assistant general manager Tommy Balcetis, multiple sources familiar with the situation told The Denver Post on Monday.
Balcetis joined the organization in 2013 under then-general manager Tim Connelly, running the team’s analytics department and eventually rising to the assistant GM role. Born in Lithuania, he’s been highly regarded as an up-and-coming front office mind for years, having been selected for The Athletic’s 40 under 40 list of bright young executives, coaches and agents in 2022.
But when the Nuggets fired Calvin Booth in April, their G League affiliate general manager, Ben Tenzer, was named interim GM rather than Balcetis, revealing how team ownership felt about the front office hierarchy. Balcetis was considered an internal candidate for the vacancy, but not the favorite, before the Kroenkes chose to let his contract expire.
The decision leaves Denver without a full-time general manager or assistant general manager nine days before the first round of the 2025 draft. Tenzer remains in the interim position and was still considered a candidate as of Monday.

Denver Summit women’s soccer team to play home opener at Empower Field at Mile High next year
The Denver Summit, the newest soccer team in the National Women’s Soccer League, will play its inaugural home opener at Empower Field at Mile High in March, the team announced on Monday.
The team, which was only just named this past July, will play at the home of the Denver Broncos until its temporary stadium and then its permanent stadium are completed. Earlier this year, Denver NWSL announced plans for a new 14,500-seat stadium near Interstate 25 and Broadway that’s expected to open in 2028.
“This will be an unforgettable moment for our club, our players, our city and our fans,” Denver Summit FC President Jen Millet said in a statement on Monday. “We’re honored to play our first home match and host ‘The Kickoff’ in such an iconic stadium. We’re grateful to the community for the incredible support to help us reach this moment.”
The team’s ownership group, which progressively grew over the summer, includes Peyton Manning, Mikaela Shiffrin, Mellody Hobson, Molly Coors, and Rob Cohen.
“We are honored to support Denver Summit FC for their inaugural match at Empower Field at Mile High,” said Broncos President Damani Leech. “This venue has hosted many memorable moments in Colorado sports history, and we look forward to working together to bring a best-in-class experience for Summit FC fans.”
While the opposing team hasn’t yet been announced, tickets will go on sale on Wednesday, Nov. 12 and can be purchased at www.denversummitfc.com.
The Denver Broncos have made significant work of the fourth quarter this season. Denver has outscored opponents 80-26 in the final 15 minutes during their six-game win streak, which have led to some heart-pounding games from the Broncos this year. Denver has scored 96 points in the final 15 minutes this season, tied with the Green Bay Packers for the most in the NFL.
In Sunday’s win over the Houston Texans, the Broncos entered the final frame down 15-7, before promptly scoring a touchdown and two-point conversion to tie the game with just over 12 minutes left. Bo Nix then led a final Denver drive to kick the game-winning field goal as time expired. Sunday marked the Broncos’ fourth fourth quarter comeback this year, tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the most this season. Twitter lit up after Nix’s latest great escape.
The Broncos now have a short week to prepare for the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday Night Football.
