Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen has agreed on a three-year, $91 million maximum contract extension that will guarantee him $131 million over the next five seasons, his agent Derrick Powell told ESPN on Wednesday.
Allen becomes the third key Cavaliers player — along with Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley — to sign massive extensions this summer, solidifying the franchise as a long-term Eastern Conference contender.
Allen — an All-Star in 2022 — averaged 16.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists last season. Before getting injured in the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Orlando Magic, Allen averaged 17 points, 13.8 rebounds and 68% shooting through the first four games of the opening-round playoff series, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
The 6-foot-9 Allen had played 81 consecutive games last season before a rib injury kept him out of the final three games against Orlando and the entire conference semifinal series with the Boston Celtics.
