The Nuggets have become one of the best teams in the NBA and won the 2023 title over the Miami Heat.

While Rivers was not on the team that won the championship, he was part of their upward trajectory.

He most recently played in the NBA during the 2022-23 season when he was a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Based on a recent Instagram post, it's clear that Rivers would still want to play in the NBA.

Rivers wrote: "Still got it more than most… but the politics can weigh heavy these days!! All good though, going to keep making this transition look EZPZ… blessed and highly favored! Always thankful. #mixtapegoats @johnwall we changed the culture broski…📸 @bellikemike"

In addition to the Nuggets and Timberwolves, Rivers has also spent time with the Los Angeles Clippers, New Orleans Pelicans, Washington Wizards, Houston Rockets and New York Knicks.
