SPANISH forward Pau Gasol has signed a new multi-year extension with the Los Angeles Lakers, the NBA team said yesterday.
The club did not provide details on the contract but local media reported Gasol had agreed to a multi-million dollar three year extension, keeping him with the team until 2014.
Gasol, originally from Barcelona, joined the Lakers in February 2008 after spending seven years with Memphis.
He helped the Lakers win the Western Conference in both seasons as well as the franchise's 15th NBA championship in 2009 and is a two-time NBA All-Star.
"Over the past year and a half Paul has quickly developed into one of the best all-around players in the NBA," Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said in a statement.
"The impact he has had on and off the court for the Lakers is significant and we look forward to watching Pau continue."
