Former Clemson star big man PJ Hall has been released by the Denver Nuggets
PJ Hall's time with the Denver Nuggets has come to an end as the former Clemson standout is set to hit the market looking for his next opportunity in the NBA.
According to Tony Jones of The Athletic, Denver is releasing Hall, who spent this past season on a two-way deal with the Nuggets. His departure opens up a two-way roster spot as the Nuggets prepare for the offseason.
Hall, a 6-foot-10 forward, saw limited action at the NBA level during his rookie campaign, appearing in 19 games and averaging 1.7 points and 1.2 rebounds while logging about 3.5 minutes per outing. He connected on 58.3 percent of his shots in that stretch. The 23-year-old also suited up for the Grand Rapids Gold in the G League, where he put up impressive numbers — 19.2 points and 12.5 boards per game, along with 1.8 assists and just over a block per contest.
After going undrafted in 2024, Hall joined Denver's organization and reunited with another former Tiger, Hunter Tyson, who joined the Nuggets by way of a second-round pick and trade in 2023.
At Clemson, Hall left his mark as one of the program's top big men in recent memory. He became just the 14th player in school history to be named first-team All-ACC and wrapped up his final season averaging 18.3 points and 6.4 rebounds. His 659 points that year set a new single-season record for the Tigers, and he finished his college career 10th on Clemson's all-time scoring list with 1,702 points.
Hall will now look for a fresh start as he hopes to continue carving out a role at the professional level.
