The Golden State Warriors have signed guard Jordan Poole to a multi-year contract extension.
Poole’s Warriors extension is reportedly for four years, $140 million.
“We’re thrilled to have Jordan in the fold for the next several years,” said Warriors Executive Vice President/General Manager Bob Myers. “He’s one of the bright, young players in our league and his work ethic and commitment to the game are impressive qualities that can’t be understated. He’ll be an important part of our future core and success, much like he was during last year’s run to the NBA championship.”
Per the San Francisco Chronicle, “for Poole’s deal, $123 million is guaranteed, according to reporting by The Athletic. Incentives could inflate that salary by an additional $17 million over the lifetime of the contract. The 23-year old will earn $3.9 million this upcoming season before his extension triggers in 2023-24. He’s estimated to make $28 million in 2023-24, which would make him the third highest-paid Warriors behind Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.”
Poole, 23, owns career averages of 13.7 points, 2.9 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 24.7 minutes in 184 games (72 games) over three seasons with the Warriors. The 6’4” guard posted career high averages in points (18.5), rebounds (3.4), assists (4.0) and minutes played (30.0) during the 2021-22 season while leading the NBA in free throw percentage (.925 FT%). Additionally, he connected on a career-high 211 three-point field goals (15th in the NBA). Poole ranks third on the Warriors’ all-time career free throw percentage list (.885 FT%) and 10th on the three-point field goals made list (382).
Originally selected by the Warriors with the 28th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, Poole scored 30 points in his first career playoff game versus Denver in Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Playoffs and followed it up with a 29-point performance in Game 2.
