Kilpatrick will sign a 10-day contract with the Nuggets on Tuesday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kilpatrick has been lighting it up with the D-League Delaware 87ers this season, averaging 27.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.3 three-pointers, two assists, and 1.1 steals while shooting 47.7 percent from the field over 22 games. Those statistics will plummet steeply once Kilpatrick joins the Nuggets, as he's likely only be asked to provide emergency depth in the backcourt while Jameer Nelson recovers from a left hip flexor strain. Don't expect Kilpatrick to become a regular member of coach Michael Malone's rotation.
