Playoff star Ty Lawson in position to get contract extension from Nuggets

Posted May 14, 2012
Ty Lawson made major strides this season — his first as a full-time starter — notably in the first-round playoff series against the Lakers. The Nuggets lost Game 7 at the Staples Center on Saturday. Next season will be the fourth in the NBA for the 24-year-old guard from North Carolina, who averaged 19 points and six assists and shot 51.4 percent in the seven-game series against the Lakers.
