The Nuggets were in desperate need of guard help when they signed Austin Rivers to a 10-Day contract April 19th. It appears as that 10-Day is set to expire, rather than offering a 2nd 10-Day contract, they are signing him for the remainder of the season according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarwoski.
In 5 games with the Nuggets, Rivers is averaging 5.2 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds. Head Coach Michael Malone has praised the 9-year-veteran's defense as well.
