The Denver Nuggets have re-signed guard Monte Morris to a three-year, $27 million contract extension, according to a report from ESPN on Monday night.

The signing marks the latest milestone in an impressive young career for Morris, who entered the league as the Nuggets’ second-round pick (No. 51 overall) out of Iowa State in 2017. He has gone on to average 9.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists during his first three seasons.
