Jamal Murray agrees to a four-year, $208 million contract extension to stay with the Denver Nuggets

Jamal Murray is staying in Colorado long-term. According to multiple reports, the star point guard has agreed to a four-year, $208 million contract extension to stay with the Denver Nuggets.

As part of the new contract extension, Murray will receive a guaranteed $244 million over the next five years. The 27-year-old guard signed a five-year, $170 million contract extension with Denver in 2019.

Drafted by Denver in 2016, Murray has been a key player for the Nuggets over the past few seasons, becoming a regular starter since 2019.

This season, Murray averaged 21.2 points per game, a new career high and second on his team behind reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokić. He also averaged 4.1 rebounds and 6.5 assists.

Murray missed the 2021-22 season while recovering from a torn ACL. After returning to play in the 2022-23 season, the Canadian guard helped the team to an NBA title. Murray was instrumental in several games during the Nuggets' 4-1 series win over the Miami Heat in the Finals, including a 30-point triple-double in Game 3.
