The Denver Nuggets announced on Tuesday that they have exercised the team options of Jamal Murray, Malik Beasley, and Juancho Hernangomnez.

Murray has been the Nuggets starting point guard each of the last two seasons and is currently averaging 16.7 points and 2.8 assists per game. Beasley is coming off a huge night where he played 31 minutes off the bench and was a key player in the Nuggets victory over the Pelicans. Beasley is currently averaging six points per game and looks to be in line for some increased playing in the near future. Hernangomez is averaging just 3.7 points per game, but has provided the Nuggets some shooting depth off the bench so far this season.

All three players were first round picks by the Nuggets in the 2016 NBA draft.
