The Denver Nuggets have decided to part ways with assistant manager Tommy Balcetis. Many thought Balcetis would be named interim GM when Calvin Booth was fired; however, Ben Tenzer was selected over Balcetis leading the Nuggets to not renew his contract.
Balcetis has been with the Nuggets since 2013, but it appears that the organization has decided to move on from the old front office and establishing a new managing foundation. Tenzer is expected to remain in the role of GM through next season but it’s unclear if the Nuggets will be filling the assistant GM spot.
