DENVER (AP)— The Denver Nuggets extended forward Aaron Gordon’s deal for four years and $133 million on Monday night, securing another important player.

The agreement was confirmed by his Klutch Sports representatives, Calvin Andrews and Rich Paul, as well as Elise Gordon, the 29-year-old power forward who helped the Nuggets win their first NBA title in 2022-23.

Gordon’s new contract came a month after the Nuggets inked point guard Jamal Murray to a four-year, $208 million contract extension. Nikola Jokic, the team’s three-time MVP, is already signed through 2026-27 with a player option for 2027-28, as is sharpshooter Michael Porter Jr.

Gordon, who is entering his 11th NBA season, averaged 13.9 points and 6.5 rebounds last season, which was consistent with his career averages of 13.5 and 6.3.

In 2014, the Orlando Magic drafted Gordon with the fourth overall pick from Arizona. He was traded to the Nuggets in March 2021 and has developed into a reliable player under coach Michael Malone.

Gordon is changing jersey numbers this season to No. 32 in honor of his brother, Drew, who died in a car accident in Oregon this spring.

Aaron Gordon stated at media day that the squad supported him throughout the tragedy.

“These guys have been there for me every step of the way,” Gordon told me. “These guys have really developed into people that I would call my brothers.
