Jaren Jackson Jr., Grizzlies agree to four-year, $105M contract extension

Memphis Grizzlies rookie forward Jaren Jackson Jr. has agreed to a four-year, $105 million contract extension, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Monday morning. 

Jackson Jr., 22, was drafted fourth overall by the Grizzlies in 2018 and quickly became one of Memphis' brightest young stars. The Michigan State product has averaged 15.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks through his professional career despite missing time last season due to a meniscus injury and has set multiple team, and league, records along the way.
