The Cleveland Cavaliers announced Saturday that All-Star point guard Darius Garland has been signed to a contract extension.
"Darius has proven to be a tremendous basketball player and someone who embodies everything a franchise would want in a young player. We’ve quickly seen Darius grow into an NBA All-Star and an integral core piece in our pursuit of sustainable success. Both on and off the court, Darius has demonstrated a strong commitment to this organization and the community.
The 22-year-old Garland has improved statistically each season, but beyond that, he has grown as a leader for a rising Cleveland team that just missed the playoffs last season. Garland’s extension begins in the 2023-24 season and, for now, would see him making just over $33 million in the first year and escalating steadily, all the way to $44 million in 2027-28.
In that scenario, Garland would start out making $40 million in 2023-24, and be due almost $53 million in 2027-28.
