The Milwaukee Bucks and power forward John Henson agreed to a four-year, $44 million contract extension, according to reports Friday.

The deal goes into effect starting in 2016-17 and will run through the 2019-20 season.

The 6-foot-11, 229-pound Henson averaged 7.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 18.3 minutes per game for the Bucks last season. He also averaged 2.0 blocks over 67 games played to rank sixth in the league.

The 24-year-old Henson was the No. 14 overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft.
