February 12, 2010
Head coach George Karl and the Nuggets have agreed to a one-year, $4.5 million contract extension, according to ESPN.com.

Our View:It looks like Karl will be leading Denver for another year. The Nuggets earned a No. 2 seed in last year's playoffs and ended up getting defeated in six games by the eventual champion L.A.

January 4, 2010
Carmelo Anthony's right knee contusion has turned out to be worse than the Nuggets originally thought, according to the Denver Post.

It really depends on how much tolerance I can take on it."
