The Boston Celtics have made a major move to keep their star player, Jaylen Brown, in town for the foreseeable future. On Monday, the team announced that they had signed Brown to a five-year, $304 million supermax deal, making him the highest-paid player in the NBA.
The 23-year-old Brown has been a key part of the Celtics’ success over the past four seasons, and this new deal will keep him in Boston through the 2025-26 season. He is coming off a career-best season in which he averaged 24.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game. He also shot a career-high 44.5% from three-point range and was named an All-Star for the first time in his career.
The $304 million deal is the largest contract ever given to an NBA player and is a testament to Brown’s talent and potential. He is now the highest-paid player in the league, surpassing the likes of Stephen Curry, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant.
This deal is also a major win for the Celtics, who have now secured their star player for the next five years. Brown has been a key part of their success over the past few seasons and has helped lead them to the playoffs each year. With him locked up for the long-term, the Celtics can now focus on building a championship-caliber team around him.
