Aaron Gordon returns to Denver potentially through 2029 after averaging 14.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists last season.

The best part of Aaron Gordon’s contract extension to Michael Malone was the timing. More than a month after point guard Jamal Murray signed a max extension with the Nuggets, this was the team’s last order of business to complete before opening night.
