Denver Nuggets star point guard Jamal Murray has agreed to a four-year, $208 million maximum contract extension, his agents Jeff Schwartz and Mike George told ESPN on Saturday.
The deal -- which keeps Murray out of free agency next summer -- ties one of the franchise cornerstones to the Nuggets for a total of five seasons and $244 million.
Murray, 27, has developed into a devastating running-mate with three-time MVP Nikola Jokic, a pick-and-roll partner for one of the most impactful combinations in the NBA.
Murray made a remarkable comeback after missing the 2021-2022 season with a torn ACL, returning to help Jokic lead the Nuggets to an NBA championship in the next season.
