The 2012–13 Denver Nuggets season was the 46th season of the franchise, and its 37th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). They finished the regular season with 57 wins and 25 losses, the franchise's best record since joining the NBA in 1977. The Nuggets, however, were unable to defeat the 6th seeded Golden State Warriors in a six-game first round series.
The team was able to acquire Andre Iguodala in the off-season. It was his only season in a Nuggets uniform before being sent to the Warriors at the end of the season.
Following the season, George Karl was fired as Nuggets head coach despite winning Coach of the Year.
The Nuggets would not make the playoffs again until 2019.
