(Reuters) - The Denver Nuggets re-signed Arron Afflalo to a multi-year contract after the starting guard had a breakout season, the National Basketball Association team said on Tuesday.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but Denver media reported the extension was worth $43 million over five years.
Afflalo, 26, set career highs in points (12.6), rebounds (3.6) and assists (2.4) last season for a Denver team that won the Northwest division title.
"Arron is a tremendous young player who is only going to get better," Nuggets Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Masai Ujiri said in a statement. "Not only has he become one of our best offensive players, but he is an excellent defender and a great leader in the locker room."
