July 5 , according to an exclusive report by ESPN 's famous reporter Charania, Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Jared Dudley is about to leave the team and join the Denver Nuggets as the team's chief assistant coach. This news also injects new experience and championship temperament into the Nuggets' coaching team.

Dudley, 39 , played in the NBA for 14 seasons, played a total of 904 games, and averaged 7.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. His most well-known highlight came in the 2019-20 season, when he won the championship trophy with James, Davis and others as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, and also completed the only championship feat in his career.

After Dudley announced his retirement in 2021 , he quickly entered the coaching position and joined the Dallas Mavericks as an assistant coach, starting his coaching journey. In the past few seasons, he has accumulated a lot of tactical experience in the Mavericks coaching team. He is particularly good at communicating with young players and teaching game details, and is widely praised in player development. This offseason, Dudley was one of the hot candidates for the Suns head coach, but ultimately failed to take office as he wished.

Even though he failed to become the head coach, Dudley's coaching ability is still widely recognized by the league. The Nuggets took the initiative to invite him to join the team and gave him the position of chief assistant coach, which shows the trust and importance the team has for him. As one of the core think tanks of head coach David Adelman, Dudley will shoulder more tasks in tactical planning, game arrangement and player training, and become an important helper for the Nuggets to continue to strive for the championship.

The Nuggets have maintained their position as a powerhouse in the Western Conference over the past few seasons, and the continued reinforcement of the coaching team this year also reflects their continued desire and execution to compete for the championship. The addition of Dudley not only improves the tactical depth of the Nuggets bench, but also injects valuable championship experience into the team.

The new season is coming, whether Dudley can show more value in the Nuggets coaching system and help the team to hit the championship again will become one of the focuses of attention in the future. For Nuggets fans, such an assistant coach with rich player experience and coaching potential is undoubtedly a "silent reinforcement" worth looking forward to.
