Nuggets Revamp Front Office by Promoting Ben Tenzer, Bring in Jonathan Wallace From Timberwolves
- In June 2025 at Ball Arena, the Denver Nuggets appointed Ben Tenzer as their new executive in charge of basketball operations, while Jon Wallace took on the role overseeing player personnel.

- Ben Tenzer, a salary-cap expert and former interim GM, and Jon Wallace, a former Nuggets scouting coordinator and G League GM, will share basketball operations duties.
- Starting July 7, the Nuggets can offer Nikola Jokic a three-year, $212 million extension, with Kroenke stating they will explain all financial parameters transparently.
- The new front office faces a challenging roster with three open spots, no upcoming draft pick, and the task to maximize Jokic's MVP prime amid salary-cap constraints.
