Nick Richards, Hornets Agree To Extension

Both Richards and Charlotte have agreed on a new contract extension that will lock him up for the next three years; a very nice contract for the former 42nd overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft.

The extension is set for three years and is worth $15 million dollars. Initially, Richards was set to become a restricted free agent this offseason; however, he does not have to worry about hitting the market as the Hornets wanted to re-sign him.

Nick Richards has been quietly averaging 8 points and 6 rebounds in 18 minutes per game

Richards is a solid defender with good rebounding skills and has good finishing around the basket

Give him this contract to turn into a nice two-way player#LetsFly #NBA #NBATwitter https://t.co/wSbLh9sBRZ
