Riches for Kidd-Gilchrist

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has agreed to a four-year, $52 million contract extension with the Charlotte Hornets, a person familiar with the situation said Monday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the move hasn’t been announced. Yahoo Sports was first to report the deal. The 6-foot-7, 232-pound Kidd-Gilchrist averaged a career-high 10.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists last season, although he was limited to 55 games due to injuries. He shot 46.5 percent from the field. Kidd-Gilchrist, 21, was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft, taken one spot behind his former Kentucky teammate Anthony Davis. – AP
