Larry Sanders officially signed a four-year, $44 million extension with the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday.

Sanders will make $3 million next season, but the extension will pay him $11 million per season beginning in 14-15.

"By combining his God-given ability with hard work and determination, Larry has developed into one of the top defensive players in the league," John Hammond said. "He is a very important part of what we are doing in Milwaukee, and we're excited to announce his contract extension."
