The Memphis Grizzlies and All-Star Jaren Jackson Jr. are expected to agree to a five-year, $240 million maximum renegotiation-and-extension, with a player option in the final year of the deal in 2029-30, sources told ESPN.

The new contract adds four years to the existing 2025-26 season on Jackson's deal. The head of CAA Basketball, Austin Brown, and CAA agent Max Saidman have been negotiating the new agreement with the Grizzlies for the three-time All-Defensive team member, securing a massive new deal to keep a cornerstone of the franchise in Memphis long term.

Just two days after agreeing to a five-year, $240 million extension with Jaren Jackson Jr., the Memphis Grizzlies announced that their star big man underwent surgery to repair a turf toe injury in his right foot. Jackson suffered the injury during "a live basketball run offsite" and will be reevaluated in 12 weeks but is expected to make a full recovery.
