2016–17 Denver Nuggets season

The 2016–17 Denver Nuggets season was the 41st season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Thanks to the continuing improvements of Nikola Jokić, the Nuggets would make significant improvements to their team, although they would be just one game shy from reaching the NBA playoffs that year.

Key dates

 * June 23, 2016: The 2016 NBA draft takes place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
 * September 9, 2016: Chuck Hayes retires as a player to become a player development coach and hold a front office role for the team somewhere at an entry-level position.
 * October 29, 2016: The Denver Nuggets officially retire Dikembe Mutombo's number.
 * February 13, 2017: Denver traded center Jusuf Nurkić and the Memphis Grizzlies' own 2017 first-round pick to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for center Mason Plumlee, a 2018 second round pick, and cash considerations.
