Nuggets claim Mo Williams off waivers

The Mo Williams saga continued Monday when the Denver Nuggets claimed the veteran guard off waivers just days after releasing him.

The Nuggets put in a Monday afternoon claim on Williams in a move designed to bring them closer to the NBA's annual salary floor and save $1.2 million.

The Nuggets thought they had realized those savings last week after acquiring Williams from the Hawks via trade, but Philadelphia claimed Williams off waivers Friday.
