The Nuggets have re-signed Chris “The Birdman” Andersen to a 5-year contract. The 31-year old power forward played in 71 games (1 start) for the Nuggets last season and he averaged 20.6 minutes, 6.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 2.5 blocked shots per game. It was a sterling comeback for Andersen who was suspended for a couple of years due to drugs. He has now played in 329 games (9 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 17.3 minutes, 5.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 1.5 blocked shots per game. Andersen is a fan favorite of the Nuggets and he brings big time energy off the bench. This was a good move for the Nuggets.
