The news of the contract extension was initially reported by Chema de Lucas, with Nunn confirming the information to BasketNews after Game 5 at OAKA Arena.

Nunn once again proved his worth on Tuesday night, leading PAO to the 2024 EuroLeague Final Four and securing the series win against Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv with a stellar 27-point performance.

The 28-year-old American joined the Greek team on a one-year deal on October 31 last year and has established himself as a consistent offensive threat throughout his rookie EuroLeague season. Across 33 games, including 25 starts, Nunn has averaged 15.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 11.7 PIR.

Nunn scored more than 20 points in 8 regular-season outings and averaged 26.3 points per match in the last three playoff series games.

Prior to his time in Greece, Nunn made his mark in the NBA from 2019 to 2023, recording averages of 12.1 points, 2.4 assists, and 2.4 rebounds across 193 regular-season games while playing for the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers, and Washington Wizards.
