BASKETBALL
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.
Murray helped lead the Nuggets to the franchise’s first NBA title in 2023, making a remarkable return from a torn ACL that sidelined him for all of the 2021-22 season.
That was followed by an injury-filled regular season and truncated playoff run this past season, which preceded a disappointing performance by the Canadians in the Paris Olympics, where he often came off the bench.
The franchise’s all-time leader in 3-pointers, Murray averaged a career-best 21.2 points and 6.5 assists last season.
