The Denver Nuggets and guard Gary Harris have agreed to terms on a four-year, $84 million contract, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The combo guard averaged 14.9 points on 50 percent field goal shooting and 42 percent three-point shooting, and the deal solidifies his status as an integral piece of Denver’s future.

The Nuggets drafted Harris in 2014 and after averaging three points per game as a rookie, the Michigan State product emerged as one of the better young two-way guards the league has to offer. He ranked in the top 10 in the NBA in both three-point percentage and effective field goal percentage in Denver last season.
Harris was eligible for the rookie extension following his third year in the NBA and his deal begins in the 2018-19 season. He and sensational young big man Nikola Jokic — whose contract the Nuggets have yet to extend — could pair up and become one of the more formidable guard-big tandems in the league down the road.
