DENVER — 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.
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. The extension, which has been in the works for months, will keep Murray in a Nuggets uniform through the 2028-29 season.
After hitting a pair of game winners in the Nuggets’ first-round series against the Los Angeles Lakers, Murray was hobbled in Denver’s seven-game loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round.
