George and the Jazz agreed to a five-year, $157.5 million contract extension Friday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
The writing was on the wall for this move a long time ago, as there was a lot of mutual interest to get this done quickly. George averaged 23.6 points, 6.1 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 33.1 minutes per contest during the 2025-26 regular season, and moving forward he'll get to play alongside No. 2 overall pick Darryn Peterson in a new-look backcourt.
