Nuggets' Trey Alexander: Limited run in rookie campaign
Rotowire
Alexander finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 1.3 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists across 4.9 minutes per game in 24 regular-season appearances.
The undrafted rookie out of Creighton joined the Nuggets on a two-way contract this season and saw inconsistent run in the NBA. However, Alexander made 30 regular-season appearances with the G League's Grand Rapids Gold, averaging 25.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.5 steals across 37.0 minutes per game. The 22-year-old is set to become a restricted free agent this offseason.
Alexander closed with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist over nine minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 win over the Grizzlies.
Alexander appeared for just the fourth time this season, logging a career-high nine minutes. While it's great to see a rookie getting some burn, there is no indication this is the start of a trend. Alexander should continue to be used sparingly on a team pushing for as many victories as possible.

Nuggets' Trey Alexander: Shines in SL finale
Rotowire
Alexander generated 19 points (8-10 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block across 29 minutes of Saturday's 91-82 win over the Pelicans in Summer League.
Alexander flirted with a double-double Saturday and shot 80 percent from the field. The undrafted rookie out of Creighton is on a two-way contract for the 2024-25 campaign but could be playing his way into a rotation spot after averaging 17.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game in Las Vegas.

Nuggets' Trey Alexander: Inks two-way with Denver
Rotowire
Alexander was signed to a two-way contract by the Nuggets following Thursday's second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
The junior out of Creighton is a guard who likes to operate in pick-and-roll and navigate for mid-range jumpers. He needs to improve at the rim and from three, though, and he's not an especially good defender. Alexander will hope to develop with some time in the G League.
