The Denver Nuggets have signed former Golden State Warriors guard Nick Young, the team announced on Monday.

Young, 33, appeared in 80 games with the Warriors last season, averaging 7.3 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 0.5 assists in 17.4 minutes, en route to his first NBA championship.

Denver, who currently sits third in the Western Conference, will be the Young’s sixth franchise in the 11-year NBA veteran guard’s career.

Additionally, the team waived guard Brandon Goodwin, who never appeared in a game for the Nuggets this season, though he did put up solid numbers in the G-League.
