Cleveland Cavaliers have officially locked in center Jarrett Allen with a three‑year, $91 million maximum extension, keeping him with the team through the 2028–29 season .At 26, Allen is coming off his best campaign—averaging a career-high 16.5 points and 10.5 rebounds across 77 games and earning a 2022 All-Star nod . His breakout postseason stretched Cleveland to the Eastern Semifinals before a broken rib sidelined him late in the stretch.
The deal secures $131 million in guaranteed earnings over five seasons, including the final two years of his previous contract . Allen is now the third key player to commit to Cleveland this offseason, joining Donovan Mitchell (3‑year, $150.3 million) and Evan Mobley (5‑year, $224 million), forming a stable “Core Four” with Darius Garland ().
Cavaliers president Koby Altman praised Allen as “the anchor of our core group,” emphasizing his critical role in establishing a winning culture . With coach Kenny Atkinson at the helm, Cleveland clearly aims to deepen its playoff runs around this young, locked-in core.
