Aaron Gordon has agreed to a four-year, $133 million contract extension with the Denver Nuggets, as confirmed by his agents Calvin Andrews of Klutch Sports and Elise Gordon. The deal includes a player option for the 2028-29 season and a trade kicker, securing the 29-year-old forward with the team long term. Gordon's contract involves opting into his $22.8 million salary for the 2025-26 season, followed by three additional years at his maximum salary plus bonuses. He was eligible to negotiate a new deal until June 30, with the deadline to opt-in being Monday night. Gordon, a key member of Denver’s 2023 championship team, is considered a perfect fit alongside Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets, currently $4.6 million below the second apron next season, gain significant savings by extending Gordon's contract starting in 2026-27.
