Boston Celtics agree a 5-year extension deal with star forward Jason Tatum

According to latest reports, Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum has agreed to a five-year $195m (£146.7m) max extension with the NBA team.

It is believed the deal could still approach $200m (£150.4m) with All-NBA escalators and will take effect from the 2021-22 season, as the 22-year-old has a year remaining on his rookie contract.

Jason Tatum was selected by the Boston Celtics with the No 3 overall in the 2017 draft out of Duke.

He also cemented his place in the heart of the NBA during the 2019-20 season, averaging a career-high 23.4 points per game in the coronavirus-shortened season. The mark eclipsed his 2018-19 average by nearly eight points.

Tatum was also got named in the NBA All-Star team and to the All-NBA third team for the first time having averaged 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.4 steals and also career highs. He led Boston with 189 three-pointers.

Also, in the postseason, Jason averaged 25.7 points and 10.0 rebounds per game, leading the Celtics to the Eastern Conference finals where they lost to the Miami Heat in six games. Tatum played an average of 40.6 minutes per game in 17 postseason contests.

Tatum is the third player from the 2017 class to sign a max extension since free agency opened on Friday, joining Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell and Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox.
