Aaron Gordon will remain under contract with the Denver Nuggets until the 2025-26 season.Β 

The former Arizona Wildcat reportedly agreed to a four-year, $92 million extension on Tuesday, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.Β 

Gordon was dealt from the Orlando Magic, the team that selected him in the first round of the 2014 NBA draft, to the Nuggets during this past season, where he averaged 10.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 25.9 minutes per game.Β 

On the first day of free agency in 2018, Gordon signed a four-year, $84 million contract with Orlando, making him the highest-paid UA product currently in the NBA, which still holds true with his newly-signed deal.Β 

Gordon is expected to start at power forward for the Nuggets alongside NBA MVP Nikola Jokic, with JaMychal Green, Jeff Green and fellow ex-Wildcat Zeke Nnaji as reserves.Β
