Spencer Jones Accepts 2-Year, $12 Million Thunder Offer as Nuggets Get 48 Hours to Match

Summary
$12 million over two years is the fully guaranteed offer sheet Spencer Jones agreed to with Oklahoma City, leaving Denver until 11:59 p.m. ET within the 48-hour window to match.
Jones, 25, reached restricted free agency after rejecting a Denver multiyear proposal worth about $2 million annually, a bet on himself that paid off after he chose a rest-of-season deal instead.
Denver wants to keep the undrafted Stanford product, but matching would add to a luxury-tax bill that rises sharply with each payroll dollar.
Jones emerged from a two-way contract into a regular role last season, starting 37 of 64 games and shooting 39.6% from 3 while giving the Nuggets a physical 3-and-D option.
