The numbers set apart by two commas are of no consequence to Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried. Only the numbers on a stat sheet matter to him, he said.

He is richer now — much richer after agreeing to a contract extension that will pay him up to $52 million over four years, provided he hits all his incentives.

Asked if he felt pressure to live up to the big contract, Faried grinned.

“No, I really don’t care,” he said. “There’s no pressure. It’s just money. It’s not a big deal. I love the game, so I’m going to continue to play the game like I’ve been playing.”
