Thursday was the Denver Nuggets Media Day, which saw many things from Russell Westbrook in his new threads to Nikola Jokic still hating Media Day and his goatee. One of the more important takeaways from Thursday was Aaron Gordon’s future comments.

According to the 29-year-old himself, he wants to continue this partnership with Denver and has no plans to leave.

Starting Friday, Gordon can sign a contract extension of up to four years with the Nuggets. This will be his second contract with the organization. After being traded from the Orlando Magic to Denver in 2021, Gordon immediately signed a four-year, $92 million deal.

“I really love this organization,” Gordon said at the team’s media day. “I love the players on this team I love the coaching staff. So I hope we get it done. It seems like it’s moving forward in the right direction. So I’m excited. I’m excited hopefully to be extended and to stay with this organization.”

Gordon has a $22.8 million player option for the 2025-26 season, the same amount of money he is getting paid this season. If a deal isn’t agreed upon and he declines his option, he would undoubtedly be a top free agent for a championship/playoff-contending team.

Aaron Gordon (Dog Bite) Out Indefinitely

Fans from around the league learned the shocking news that Aaron Gordon was attacked by a dog on Christmas Day. The news was first broken by Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Gordon will be away from the Denver Nuggets after suffering lacerations to his face and shooting hand. According to Charania, after the incident occurred, he needed 21 stitches.

However, despite how bad it does sound (and is), Denver says he is in good condition.

Aaron Gordon signs HUGE contract extension with the Nuggets!

Aaron Gordon signs HUGE contract extension with the Nuggets! As people would say, “the bag has been secured!” Indeed it has as Gordon is resigning with the Denver Nuggets on a four-year, $92 million dollar contract extension. Big payday for the 26-year-old, why? Because he was traded from the Magic to the Nuggets in the middle of the season, just hours before the end of the trade deadline.

The team liked what they saw in him during his stint in Orlando, then what he provided in the short season with the Nuggets before the postseason. Gordon had some good moments in the playoffs and showed that there is value to his name; that he is more than just dunk contests and Dwayne Wade rigging everything.

Plus, they could not give up on him after giving up a rookie, a draft pick, and another player that is a veteran to the game of basketball. The trend is continuing for this Denver organization as they gave the huge money to Murray, Jokic, looking out for MPJ, and now Gordon.

Aaron Gordon will be participating in this eighth season in his career, dating back to being the fourth overall pick in the 2014 Draft.
