Charles Bediako is coming off a year where he was on a two-way contract with the San Antonio Spurs.

Bediako did not appear in an NBA game, but he spent a lot of time in the G League with the Austin Spurs.

He averaged 7.7 points and 6.9 rebounds per contest while shooting 60.4% from the field in 11 Showcase Cup games (six starts).

According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Denver Nuggets will now sign Bediako.

It's more than likely that Bediako will begin his season with the Nuggets G League team.

That said, he could be a candidate to land either a two-way (or 10-day) contract.
