This landmark decision brings one of the most celebrated figures in Nuggets history back into the organization, this time in a strategic front-office role.

“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Carmelo back to the Nuggets family,” said Nuggets President of Basketball Operations, Calvin Booth. “His deep knowledge of the game, his unmatched network within the basketball world, and his passion for identifying and nurturing talent make him the ideal person to lead our recruitment efforts.”
As Head of Recruitment, Anthony will be responsible for overseeing the Nuggets’ scouting and talent acquisition strategies, working closely with the coaching staff “David Adelman” and front office to evaluate prospective players from college programs, international leagues, and the NBA draft pool. His reputation and relationships across the basketball community are expected to be a significant asset in attracting high-caliber talent to Denver.
Anthony expressed his excitement about the new role, stating, “Denver has always held a special place in my heart. This city and this franchise gave me my first NBA opportunity, and I’m honored to return in a capacity where I can help shape the future of the team. I’ve always had an eye for talent, and now I’m looking forward to helping the Nuggets continue to compete at the highest level.”
Since retiring from professional basketball in 2023, Anthony has remained active in the basketball world through media, mentorship, and philanthropic work. His transition into a front-office role has been long anticipated by fans and analysts alike.
The move signals Denver’s commitment to integrating basketball minds with firsthand playing experience into its executive framework. With Carmelo Anthony now part of the leadership structure, the Nuggets are positioning themselves for continued success both on and off the court.
This homecoming marks not only a new chapter for Anthony but also a nostalgic and promising moment for Nuggets fans who have followed his storied career since draft night in 2003.
He played for the Nuggets for 7.5 seasons after being drafted third overall in 2003, wearing jersey number 15. Anthony is a 10-time NBA All-Star, a six-time All-NBA selection, and was named to the NBA’s 75th anniversary team.
