Jaylen Brown will sign the biggest contract in NBA history.
The star wing has agreed to terms on a five-year, $304 million supermax extension with the Boston Celtics, according to multiple reports. The contract includes a commercial kicker, but is fully guaranteed and does not have a player option, The Athletic reported. Previous reports indicated that both sides were haggling over the inclusion of a potential trade kicker and player option.
Brown is coming off the best season of his seven-year career. He scored 26.6 points per game during the 2022-23 regular season, earning him second-team All-NBA honors that made him eligible to receive a supermax extension this offseason.
The Celtics have been among one of the best teams in the league since taking Brown with the third overall pick in the 2016 draft, reaching the conference finals five times and the NBA Finals once.
Brown was entering the final year of the four-year deal he signed before the 2019-20 season, meaning this deal will run through the end of the 2028-29 season.
