WASHINGTON, September 25 - NBA All-Star Paul George has extended contract with the Indiana Pacers, the team announced Wednesday.

The extension, which will start at the end of his rookie contract in 2014, is worth up to as much as 90 million US dollars over the five year deal under the league's collective bargaining agreement.

The 23-year-old George was drafted by the Pacers as the 10th overall pick in 2010.

In 2013 he was selected to play in his first NBA All-Star Game, and also received the NBA Most Improved Player Award as he led the team to Eastern Conference finals before losing to Miami Heat 4-3 in the best-of-seven series last season.
