The Nuggets are extending Tim Connelly's contract, the team announced Friday.
Denver's president of basketball operations' current deal was up after the season, but the team wanted to lock him up for the foreseeable future.
Connelly has been running the Nuggets since 2013. Denver has not made the playoffs since he took over, but it is 39-18 this season and in second place in the Western Conference.
Denver also knew it was going to go through a rebuild when it brought in Connelly.
Under Connelly, the Nuggets have drafted Nikola Jokic (2014), Jamal Murray, Malik Beasley (2016) and Donovan Mitchell (2017).
Denver is 224-243 in his tenure.
Connelly has also spent time with both the Hornets and Wizards franchises.
The team also extended general manager Arturas Karnisovas' contract Friday.
