Zeke Nnaji, Nuggets Agree to 4-Year, $32M Contract Extension
Looking to continue developing their center rotation behind Nikola Jokić, the Denver Nuggets agreed to a four-year, $32 million contract extension with Zeke Nnaji on Saturday, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Nnaji, 22, was selected by Denver in the first-round of the 2020 NBA Draft out of Arizona and has had a very limited role thus far in his career. Wojnarowski reported that the Nuggets have loved his development and that he is expected to take on a larger role with the reigning champs this season.
There is a player option included in Nnaji’s deal.
