Aaron Gordon Inks Four-Year, $92 Million Extension with Denver Nuggets
Extension Keeps Gordon in Denver Through 2026
Deal Details and Impact
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon has signed a four-year, $92 million contract extension with the team, keeping him in the Mile High City through the 2025-26 season. The extension secures the services of a key contributor who played a pivotal role in Denver's success last season.
Gordon's previous contract with the Nuggets was set to expire after the 2021-22 season. However, the two sides reached an agreement on a new deal that will see the 26-year-old remain in Denver for the foreseeable future.
Gordon's Role in Denver
Gordon joined the Nuggets in 2021 after a brief stint with the Orlando Magic. Since arriving in Denver, he has emerged as a versatile and productive player, seamlessly blending into the team's dynamic offense and providing a strong presence on the defensive end.
In the 2020-21 season, Gordon averaged 10.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. He also shot a respectable 45.4% from the field and 38.3% from three-point range.
Nuggets' Optimism
The Nuggets are optimistic about Gordon's future in Denver. He provides the team with a unique skill set that complements the team's stars, reigning MVP Nikola Jokic and All-NBA selection Jamal Murray.
With Gordon under contract for four more seasons, the Nuggets have secured the services of a key piece of their young core. The team is now well-positioned to compete for Western Conference supremacy and chase an NBA championship in the years to come.
