Jaren Jackson to sign four-year, $105M contract extension
Jackson to stay long term in Memphis
The Memphis Grizzlies have reached an agreement with Jaren Jackson for a four year, $105 million contract extension, ESPN reports.
Jackson, 22, has emerged as a cornerstone player on a gifted, young Grizzlies roster and has shown himself to be one of the most versatile and dynamic young big men in the league.
Jackson was the No. 4 pick out of Michigan State in the 2018 NBA draft and has partnered with point guard Ja Morant to construct one of the most promising young duos in the league.
Jackson missed a significant part of the 2020-21 season recovering from a meniscus injury but has returned to full strength this preseason. He has averaged 15.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in his three NBA seasons.
