Danilo Gallinari and the Denver Nuggets have agreed to a four-year, $42 million contract extension, according to league sources.
Gallinari, in his fourth NBA season, is averaging 17.4 points and 5.2 rebounds per game for a Nuggets team that trails only Oklahoma City in the NBA’s Western Confernece and Northwest Division standings.
Drafted in the first round by the New York Knicks in 2008, Gallinari, an Italian native, was part of last season’s blockbuster trade that sent Carmelo Anthony to the Big Apple.
