NBA: Porter deal worth up to $207M

DENVER—Sharpshooting forward Michael Porter Jr. agreed to a five-year maximum extension with the Denver Nuggets worth up to $207 million (U.S.).

He’s assured of making at least $29.8 million in 2022-23, a figure that would rise if he’s voted onto an all-NBA team or wins MVP honours. The 23year-old Porter is coming off a season in which he averaged 19 points and 7.3 rebounds.

He also led the Nuggets with 170 three-pointers.
