DENVER (AP) — Denver Nuggets star point guard Jamal Murray has agreed to a four-year, $208 million maximum contract extension, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Saturday.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity as the deal, which keeps Murray out of free agency next summer, awaited the requisite signatures.
Murray made a remarkable return from a torn ACL that sidelined him for all of the 2021-22 season to help lead the Nuggets to the franchise's first NBA title in 2023.
That was followed by an injury-filled regular season and truncated playoff run this summer, which preceded a disappointing performance by the Canadian in the Paris Olympics, where he often came off the bench.
