The Denver Nuggets have signed JaKarr Sampson to a multi-year contract, the team announced Monday afternoon.
The deal is reportedly for two seasons, with the second being non-guaranteed, league sources told The Vertical's Shams Charania.
Sampson, 22, was recently released by the Philadelphia 76ers in order to clear a roster spot for Joel Anthony, who the team landed in a trade-deadline deal with the Houston Rockets.
