This maintains that the Nuggets are happy with their current core and staff, and that they don’t see this year as much of a setback moving forward.

Nuggets head coach Mike Malone on Wednesday agreed to a multiyear contract extension with the team, though the terms were not disclosed.

“We look forward to Coach Malone continuing on the sidelines as we all work toward our goal of bringing an NBA Championship to the city of Denver.” The Nuggets beat the Clippers 127-115 Tuesday and sit in sixth place in the Western Conference, with a 43-30 record with nine games remaining in the regular season. Malone, 50, is in his seventh year as the Nuggets’ head coach.

Coach Michael Malone and the Nuggets agreed on a multiyear contract extension on Wednesday, a league source confirmed to The Denver Post.

We look forward to Coach Malone continuing on the sidelines as we all work toward our goal of bringing an NBA Championship to the city of Denver.” Following Tuesday’s win over the Clippers, the Nuggets were holding steady as the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference with nine games left in the regular season. Without two of their top three stars for the majority of the season, the Nuggets have stayed afloat behind reigning MVP Nikola Jokic’s production and Malone’s steady guidance.

The Denver Nuggets have something that works with coach Michael Malone and star Nikola Jokic, so they locked Malone down with a new contract.

Malone as coach is part of what makes it all work in Denver, he is already third on the franchise all-time wins list with 309. On paper — and for a brief window on the court — the Nuggets looked like a contender before injuries hit. Denver hopes that next season (and for a few seasons after), when Michael Porter Jr. is healthy, and Jamal Murray returns (Malone recently said the point guard “not close” to playing after a stint in the G-League), the Nuggets will be a contender built around Jokic. They could be a favorite to come out of the West next season.
