Celtics All-NBA small forward Jayson Tatum has agreed to sign a five-year, $195 million extension with a player option on the fifth year, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Tatum began the season with three goals — to make an All-Star team, average more than 20 points per game, and make the NBA Finals — and came within two wins of accomplishing all three.
Though he fell short of the Finals at the hands of the Heat, Tatum received his first All-Star nod, and jumped from scoring 15.7 points, 6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game to 23.4 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.4 assists per game.
With Gordon Hayward gone to the Hornets, those numbers are very likely to keep rising
