DENVER (AP) — Nuggets coach George Karl missed the final 112 months of last season while battling a form of throat cancer. This season began with the rumors swirling around All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony.
Through the turmoil, Karl admitted there were times he didn’t know whether he would remain long term with the Nuggets.
But everything has worked out for Karl.
His health is much better, Anthony was traded last month to the New York Knicks for a bevy of assets, and Karl has signed a multiyear contract extension to remain in Denver.
