Denver Nuggets winger Aaron Gordon has agreed to a four-year, $ 92 million contract extension, Klutch Sports agent Calvin Andrews Marc J. Spears confirmed Tuesday.
The deal, which was first reported by The Athletic, includes a fourth-year player option in 2025-26, his agent told ESPN. It includes $ 88 million in base salary and $ 4 million in incentives, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks.
Gordon, the eleventh player this low season to sign a veteran extension, was traded to Denver in an exchange in March that sent veteran escort Gary Harris and rookie RJ Hampton and the protected first-round pick from 2025 to Denver in 2025 for the Magic.
Gordon, who will turn 25 on Thursday, averaged 12.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game in 2020-21. Orlando picked him fourth overall in the 2014 draft.
The high-flying winger could be remembered for his performances during NBA dive contests. In 2020, he finished as runner-up in a showdown with Derrick Jones Jr.
