Michael Malone and the Nuggets have agreed on a contract extension that will make him one of the NBA’s highest paid coaches, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Malone’s new deal comes five months after guiding Denver to its first NBA title. During the Nuggets’ championship run, they posted a 16-4 mark while taking down the Timberwolves, Suns, Lakers and Heat in the process.
Currently, the Nuggets (8-2) sit atop the Western Conference through 10 games of the 2023-24 NBA season. Although a small sample size of games, the Nuggets remain a legitimate contender to repeat as NBA champion this season behind two-time MVP Nikola Jokić.
