Denver clearly still has a place in J.R. Smith's heart. And now, it has a place in his family.

Speaking Wednesday morning at the Cleveland Cavaliers' shootaround, the former Nugget said he and his wife will be naming their fourth daughter 'Denver'--after the city he called home for much of his NBA career.

Smith and his wife, Jewel, already have three girls. The oldest--Demi--just turned nine and had quite the hilarious reaction last month when she found out she'd be having yet another sister.

When your oldest of 3 GlRLS finds out your having another GIRL... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 👧🏽👧🏽👧🏽👧🏽 @jewey808

Smith spent five seasons in the Mile High City from 2006-2011, where he averaged double figures in scoring each year. He was a key cog on the team that went to the Western Conference finals in 2008-09, putting up just over 15 points a game.

He's spent the last three and a half years with the Cavs, where he won his first championship in 2016.

The Cavaliers take on the Nuggets Tuesday night at 8:30 p.m. on ESPN.
