DENVER(AP) -- The Denver Nuggets have signed backup Renaldo
Balkman to a contract extension and also exercised the
fourth-year option on guard Arron Afflalo, who was acquired from
Detroit last summer.
Known for his hustle and ability to slip through defenses for
easy baskets, Balkman averaged a career-best five points and 3.8
rebounds while shooting a career-high 55.8 percent in 53 games
with Denver last season.
Terms of Balkman's deal were not disclosed.
Afflalo has averaged just over a point and an assist in 18.5
minutes in his two games with the Nuggets.
