Mark Bartelstein, Beal's agent, confirmed the extension details to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The 26-year-old University of Florida product also becomes eligible to sign the richest contract the NBA has ever seen at five years and $266 million in 2022 if he opts out of his deal a year early, per Woj.
