The Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to a four-year, $105 million contract extension with Jaren Jackson Jr., locking up a core player ahead of a Monday deadline.
Jackson's agent Austin Brown confirmed the news to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Jackson was expected to sign the extension prior to Monday's 6 p.m. ET deadline for 2018 draft class players to do so.
The Grizzlies selected Jackson as the No. 4 pick in 2018 out of Michigan State. A versatile, 6-11 forward, Jackson, 22, earned All-Rookie honors in 2019. He anchors Memphis' young core alongside point guard Ja Morant.
