Nuggets’ Michael Malone agrees to rich contract extension
Malone’s new deal comes in the aftermath of leading the Nuggets to the 2023 NBA championship, the first in the franchise’s history
Denver Nuggets’ head coach Michael Malone has agreed on a contract extension that will make him one of the NBA’s highest-paid coaches, sources told ESPN on Monday.
Malone – who has led Denver to a Western Conference-leading 8-2 record to start the 2023-24 season – spent eight seasons lifting the franchise out of the lottery, into the playoffs and, ultimately, to an NBA title. Denver’s 16-4 run in the 2023 playoffs was the league’s most dominant since the Golden State Warriors in 2017.
