What happened: The agreement is a training-camp deal, and Walker will compete for a roster spot this fall, The Denver Post reported. The 6-foot-4 guard returns to the NBA after spending last season with Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Why it matters: Walker gives Denver another veteran guard option as Peyton Watson's future remains unresolved. His 3-point shooting offers a potential source of bench spacing for the 2026-27 rotation.

By the numbers: Walker averaged 15.2 points and shot 35.1% from 3 in EuroLeague play last season. He has averaged double figures in four of seven NBA seasons and owns a 35.6% career mark from deep.

What to watch: Walker will enter training camp seeking a place on Denver's 15-man regular-season roster.
