The 2014-15 Denver Nuggets season was marked by struggles and transitions. Under the leadership of head coach Brian Shaw, the team started with high hopes but quickly faltered. Shaw was dismissed in March 2015, leading to assistant coach Melvin Hunt taking over on an interim basis. The Nuggets concluded the season with a 30-52 record, finishing 12th in the Western Conference and missing the playoffs for the second consecutive year.
Despite the challenges, several players had notable performances. Ty Lawson was a standout, averaging 15.2 points and 9.6 assists per game, ranking third in the league for assists. Kenneth Faried contributed with his high-energy play, averaging 12.6 points and 8.9 rebounds. The season highlighted the need for a rebuild focused on developing young talent and restructuring the roster for future competitiveness.
