Denver Nuggets- Where Are They Now: Al Harrington

Al Harrington has a long-career in the NBA, and the Mile High City was lucky enough to see him in the Denver Nuggets uniform for some of those seasons.

In the Summer of 2010, rumors began to emerge in Denver that star forward Carmelo Anthony wanted a trade to New York.

That same Summer, the organisation signed then 12-year NBA veteran forward Al Harrington as a free agent on a multi-year deal.

Initially, the deal was seen as one that would bolster the Nuggets bench. Harrington was a guy that could be inserted into a game and offer up an immediate scoring punch, while also providing rebounds and a veteran voice. However, as the whispers of a potential Carmelo Anthony trade became more like shouts, Harrington’s role on the team evolved from key bench player to potential replacement in the starting line-up should any trade occur.

Indeed, in February of that season after months of negotiations, Anthony was dealt to the Knicks. However for Harrington and Denver, the addition of Danilo Gallinari meant that Harrington could remain in his role as a key member of the second unit.

Harrington spent two seasons in Denver from 2010-2012, and during his time in the Mile High City, he was a fan favorite.

Four years on, Harrington is no longer in the NBA having retired after 16 years in the league. Lets take a look at his career as a whole, as well as where Big Al is today.
