Nick Richards Signs Extension
2 years agoCharlotte Hornets center Nick Richards has signed an extension with the organization. The two sides have agreed to a two-year extension worth $15 million. The 25-year-old was set to become a restricted free agent this summer. The Hornets didn't want that to happen considering Richards is in the middle of a breakout campaign. The big man has been nearly averaging a double-double over the last few weeks. The Hornets are without Mark Williams (thumb), so Richards has been asked to take over the starting center spot. It doesn't seem like it's going to be long before he secures that spot full time.
