The Nuggets waived guard Erick Green on Thursday morning, clearing a roster spot to sign forward Kostas Papanikolaou, the team announced Thursday.
Papanikolaou was traded to the Nuggets in July, part of the deal that sent point guard Ty Lawson to the Rockets. The Nuggets waived Papanikolaou on Sept. 25, about nine days before his contract at the time, worth $4.8 million would have become guaranteed. The Nuggets released him at the time with an eye on possibly bringing him back.
Now they have.
