The Orlando Magic reached terms on a contract extension Tuesday with center Nikola Vucevic, according to team sources.
Sources told ESPN.com that Vucevic has received a new four-year deal from the Magic worth $53 million that will kick in starting with the 2014-15 season.
The Orlando Sentinel first reported Tuesday that the sides were finalizing a new deal.
Vucevic turns 25 on Friday and has established himself as a consistent double-double man for the Magic, who acquired him from Philadelphia as part of the four-team blockbuster deal in August 2012 that landed Dwight Howard with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Vucevic is one of only five players in the league to average at least 10 rebounds per game in each of the last two seasons, joining Kevin Love, Joakim Noah, Zach Randolph and Howard himself.
