DENVER (AP) — The Denver Nuggets have promoted 44-year-old Calvin Booth to general manager. Booth’s promotion from assistant general manager comes three months after former Nuggets GM Arturas Karnisovas left to become the Chicago Bulls’ top decision-maker. Booth joined the Nuggets in 2017 after four years in the Minnesota Timberwolves’ front office. Booth also spent one season as a scout for the New Orleans Pelicans following a 10-year playing career in which he played for seven teams.

Booth played for the Seattle Sonics from 2001 to 2004.
