Aaron Gordon has agreed to a four-year, $92 million contract extension with the Denver Nuggets, the player’s agent Calvin Andrews of Klutch Sports, revealed on Tuesday.

According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, the deal includes $88 million in base salary and $4 million in incentives, while Andrews confirmed that there is also a player option in the fourth year in 2025-26. This deal makes Gordon the 11th player to sign a veteran extension during the current offseason.

The Nuggets forward, who turns 26 on Thursday, has recorded an average of 2.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 25 games since first arriving in Denver. He produced a vastly improved performance during the postseason, averaging 11.1 points and 5.4 rebounds before his team was defeated by the Phoenix Suns in the second round.

Gordon arrived at Denver in March in exchange for shooting guard Gary Harris, rookie R.J. Hampton and Denver’s protected 2025 first-round pick being sent to Orlando Magic. This marks Gordon’s eighth season in the NBA, with the player making his entrance in 2014 as he was selected as the fourth overall pick by Orlando Magic in the NBA Draft that year.
