NBA Notes: Kings, Gay agree to 3-year extension
Rudy Gay has teamed up with DeMarcus Cousins to form an effective scoring combination for 6-4 Sacramento. (USA Today Images)The Sacramento Kings and forward Rudy Gay have agreed to a $40 million, three-year contract extension that runs through the 2017-18 season, a person with knowledge of the deal said Sunday.
The person spoke to newsandtalking.blogspot.com on condition of anonymity because the team had not made an official announcement. The extension includes a player option for the final year of the deal.
Yahoo Sports first reported the agreement.
The opt-out clause gives Gay flexibility to become a free agent in two years, when the NBA's salary cap is expected to increase under the league's luxury new TV deal.
Gay is making $19.3 million this season after exercising his player option last summer to return to Sacramento. He was set to become a free agent in July (see full story).

Magic: Rookie Gordon out indefinitely with foot fracture The Orlando Magic received some disheartening news when they discovered that rookie power forward Aaron Gordon will be out indefinitely with a foot injury sustained Saturday against the Washington Wizards.
The Magic drafted Gordon No. 4 overall out of Arizona in the 2014 draft.
In 11 games this season, he had averaged 5.8 points and 3.0 rebounds per game.
The Magic have a young team, led by Gordon and fellow lottery picks Victor Oladipo and Elfrid Payton. They were not expected to contend this season, as evidenced by their 4-7 start.
Even so, the injury will keep Gordon, an outstanding athlete with a high ceiling, off the court for the foreseeable future.
