Dudley to be Nuggets' top assistant, sources say
Briefly

Jared Dudley is set to become the top assistant coach for the Denver Nuggets under David Adelman. Dudley has been with the Mavericks since 2021, after a notable 14-year NBA career. The Mavericks have lost three significant assistants, including Dudley, while attempting to hire Frank Vogel as the lead assistant under head coach Jason Kidd. The Nuggets, in addition to hiring Adelman, have revamped their front office and made notable trades during free agency to strengthen their roster.
Dudley, a first-round pick of the Charlotte Bobcats in 2007, played 14 years in the NBA and averaged 7.3 points and 3.2 rebounds in 904 games.
The Nuggets hired Adelman as their full-time coach in May, replacing the fired Michael Malone, and led the Nuggets to wins in their last three regular-season games.
The Mavericks have lost three key assistants, including Jared Dudley, to elevated roles with other teams while finalizing a deal to hire Frank Vogel as lead assistant.
The Nuggets revamped their front office, moving to a co-partnership approach between executive vice presidents Ben Tenzer and Jonathan Wallace after letting general manager Calvin Booth go.
