Jarrett Allen will be with the Cleveland Cavaliers for years to come after he and the Cavs agreed on a three-year extension deal worth $91 million, as reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN on Wednesday.
“Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen has agreed on a three-year, $91 million maximum extension that’ll now guarantee him $131 million over the next five years, his agent Derrick Powell tells ESPN.”
This si the third big splash the Cavs have made in the offseason, as they have previously locked down Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley to extension deals as well.
Allen has been a solid force on both ends of the floor for the Cavaliers. He even became an All-Star for the first time during his first full season with Cleveland in the 2021-22 NBA campaign.
Last season, he averaged 16.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game while shooting 63.4 percent from the field and finishing 10th in the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award.
