Nuggets Trade Joffrey Lauvergne For Draft Picks

DENVER (The Sports Xchange) - Forward Joffrey Lauvergne was acquired by the Oklahoma City Thunder, who sent two draft picks to the Denver Nuggets.

Lauvergne appeared in 83 games for the Nuggets including 16 starts, averaging 6.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 15.8 minutes per game. He was acquired in a draft-night trade in 2013 with the Minnesota Timberwolves, who selected the France native with the 55th overall pick. Lauvergne made his NBA debut late in the 2014-15 season.

Denver will receive two second-round picks in the 2017 NBA Draft: Oklahoma City's own selection and one acquired from Memphis in a previous trade.
