The Denver Nuggets are an American professional basketball team based in Denver, Colorado.

The team was founded as the Denver Larks in 1967 as a charter franchise of the American Basketball Association (ABA), but changed its name to Rockets before the first season. It changed its name again to the Nuggets in 1974, and joined the NBA when the two leagues merged in 1976.
