The Nuggets are the latest in a string of NBA franchises to announce jersey patches for the upcoming season and beyond.
Most recently, Eastern conference side the Washington Wizards agreed to a deal for online financial services firm Robinhood to be its own jersey patch sponsor throughout the 2023-24 season, while the New York Knicks and entertainment venue Sphere have struck a similar deal.
