The start of a new NBA season has come to an end, and teams are finally set to chase ultimate glory. The Denver Nuggets, led by Serbian star Nikola Jokic, secured a key player on the team with a lucrative contract extension and are once again going all in for a championship ring.
The player in question is none other than forward Aaron Gordon, who secured a lucrative deal with the Nuggets and will join Mike Malone’s team for at least four years, with the option to extend it for one more year.
The news was confirmed by journalist Shams Charania via his X account (formerly Twitter): “Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon has agreed to a four-year, $133 million contract extension with the franchise, with a player option in 2028-29 and a trade kicker, Klutch Sports’ Calvin Andrews and Rich Paul, and Elise Gordon told ESPN.”
The player who previously wore the Orlando Magic jersey for several years is a key piece in Malone‘s scheme, and his continuity with the franchise excites fans about improving on last season’s performance.
