$190 Million Deal Includes Player Option for Fourth Year
Extends George's Stay with Clippers Through 2027-28
Paul George has signed a four-year, $190 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Clippers, as reported by his agent to ESPN. The deal includes a player option for the fourth year, giving George the potential to opt out and become a free agent in 2027. This extension extends George's tenure with the Clippers through the 2027-28 season.
The new contract represents a significant increase in salary for George, who is currently earning $40 million in the final year of his previous deal. With this extension, he will become the ninth-best-paid NBA player this year and is projected to be the 13th best-paid player next year.
