Jaylen Duren signs $200 million contract extension with Detroit Pistons

Detroit center Jaylen Duren extended his contract with the club for five years worth $200 million. This was reported by Sport-Express with reference to ESPN.

The agreement has become fully guaranteed. The contract ends protracted negotiations between the club and the restricted free agent. The 22-year-old basketball player turned down a one-year, $9.6 million qualifying offer.

This season, Duren averaged 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per game in 70 regular NBA games. His field goal percentage was 65.

The Pistons previously offered Duren $180 million to $190 million over five years and wanted to include a weight control clause in the contract. The basketball player's side did not accept him. As a result, the club increased the amount to 200 million and abandoned this clause.
