Real Madrid on Sunday exercised their option on the contract of Sergio Llull, who on Thursday was drafted by the Denver Nuggets with the 34th pick in the 2009 NBA Draft and then was traded to the Houston Rockets.

The move by Madrid will keep the guard under contract for two more years.

Llull averaged 6.9 points and 2.2 assists in 19 Euroleague games and 8.6 points and 2.7 assists per game in the Spanish League.
