Kristaps Porzingis Signs Contract Extension With Celtics
Extension Keeps Porzingis in Boston
Details of Porzingis' Contract
Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis has signed a new two-year, $60 million contract extension, keeping him with the team through the 2024-2025 season. The contract includes $60 million guaranteed and an average annual salary of $30 million.
Porzingis, who joined the Celtics in a trade with the Dallas Mavericks in February 2022, has quickly become a key member of the team's rotation. He averaged 19.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game in 51 games with Boston last season.
The Celtics have high hopes for Porzingis, who they believe can be a major contributor to their championship aspirations. He is a skilled scorer, rebounder, and defender who can stretch the floor with his outside shooting.
Porzingis' signing is a sign that the Celtics are committed to competing for a title in the years to come. They have a young and talented core led by Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Marcus Smart, and Porzingis gives them another weapon to add to the mix.
