DENVER (AP) - A person familiar with the negotiations says smooth-shooting forward Danilo Gallinari and the Denver Nuggets have agreed to a four-year, roughly $42 million extension.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the extension hasn't been announced.
CBSSports first reported the deal.
Gallinari has been a steady presence on the floor for the Nuggets since being acquired in the blockbuster deal that sent Carmelo Anthony to the New York Knicks last February.
The 23-year-old from Italy is averaging 17.4 points this season for the Nuggets, who have the second-best record in the Western Conference despite not having a bona fide superstar.
In an email to the AP, Gallinari said he really likes Denver and that it was "easy to make this decision."
