The Denver Nuggets and 24-year-old power forward Kenneth Faried have agreed to a five-year, $60-million contract extension, reports Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski:

The deal includes a partial guarantee in the fifth year that assures Faried he will make no less than $52 million over the life of the contract, sources said.

If Faried's Twitter account is any indication, Wojnarowski's sources speak the truth: 

Faried, drafted 22nd overall by Denver in 2011, averaged 13.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 80 games (77 starts) last season.
