Danilo Gallinari elated with Denver Nuggets extension

Danilo Gallinari has admitted that he was delighted to commit his future to the Denver Nuggets.

The 26-year-old has signed a three-year extension to his deal with Michael Malone's men after becoming a solid player for the franchise in his four years with the team.

"I was very fast in saying yes to this extension," Gallinari told The Denver Post. "I'm very happy to stay in Denver.

"This extension came because of the people in Denver, the fact that I've been in Denver for awhile now and the fact that I love the city."

Gallinari averaged 12.4 points per game for the Nuggets last season.
