Former Clemson Star Reportedly Being Released

A former Clemson star will be looking to land with a new team.

PJ Hall is being released by the Denver Nuggets, according to Tony Jones of The Athletic.

Hall played in 19 games for the Nuggets this past season on a two-way contract, so his release clears a two-way spot for Denver.

The 6-foot-10, 245-pound forward averaged 1.7 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.2 blocks and 0.2 assists per game, shooting 58.3 percent (14-of-24) from the field. He averaged 3.5 minutes per game in his 19 contests.

Hall also appeared in 13 G League games for the Grand Rapids Gold, averaging 19.2 points, 12.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 blocks per contest.

Hall, 23, was not drafted in 2024 but instead signed a two-way contract with Denver, thus reuniting in the Nuggets organization with fellow former Clemson standout Hunter Tyson. Tyson was picked 37th overall by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round of the 2023 NBA Draft, with the pick being part of an agreed-upon trade to the Nuggets.

Hall became just the 14th player in Clemson men’s basketball history to earn first-team All-ACC honors in 2023-24. He averaged 18.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game that season, on his way to Associated Press All-American Honorable Mention honors. His 659 points set the school record for points in a season. Hall finished his career in the top 10 of Clemson’s all-time scoring list (1,702 points).
