NBA Free Agency: Knicks Meeting with Nuggets' Bruce Brown

Denver Nuggets forward and former Brooklyn Net Bruce Brown could return to the city, scheduling a meeting with the New York Knicks for free agency.

A key piece to the latest NBA champions could be making his return to New York basketball.

According to SNY's Ian Begley, the New York Knicks are set to meet with Denver Nuggets guard and former Brooklyn Net Bruce Brown at the start of free agency.

Brown is coming off a strong season with the Nuggets averaging 11.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in 80 games. He was an important contributor during Denver's NBA Finals run, averaging 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 20 playoff games.

The Miami alum is set to meet with a number of teams beyond the Knicks as well, including the Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, and Indiana Pacers. He's also been linked to the Los Angeles Lakers and a return to the Nuggets as possible solutions in free agency.

Brown appears to be competing with Donte DiVincenzo for the Knicks' attention, as some believe the latter to be the team's top target in free agency.

With Josh Hart opting in for his $12.9 million player option, the Knicks have more money to spend this year, which should help their free agent endeavors.

Free agency kicks off on Friday at 6 p.m. ET, as all 30 teams can begin negotiating and reaching verbal agreements with players in and out of their organization.
