The Denver Nuggets are reportedly hiring Dave Joerger as lead assistant coach under head coach David Adelman, according to ESPN's Shams Charania on X.
Earlier this month, Marc Stein of the Stein Line reported that Joerger had interviewed for the position in June, and the Nuggets were an “increasingly likely” landing spot for Joeger.

EuroLeague's Paris Basketball and Australia’s Melbourne United were also reportedly interested in hiring Joerger as head coach. However, Joerger preferred to take an assistant role with an NBA team over making the move overseas to be a head coach, according to BasketNews.

Joerger's Coaching Career in the NBA
Joerger served as an assistant coach for the Memphis Grizzlies for multiple years before becoming the team's head coach in 2013. He posted a 147-99 record as head coach and led the Grizzlies to three playoff appearances in three seasons before the franchise parted ways with Joerger in 2016.
The Sacramento Kings hired Joerger shortly after that, and he spent three seasons as the team's head coach. His 98-148 record across three seasons with the Kings led to his dismissal in 2019.
Since then, Joerger has worked as an assistant coach for the Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks.
As Adelman enters his second full season as head coach since replacing Michael Malone, Joerger's NBA coaching experience will be a valuable asset for the Nuggets' coaching staff.
