Sources: Jazz, Keyonte George agree to 5-year, $157.5M extension

Keyonte George, the Jazz’s starting guard who wears jersey #3, has secured a five‑year rookie‑scale extension worth $157.5 million. Over 54 games this season he averaged 23.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists while shooting 45.6 percent from the field, establishing himself as the team’s primary offensive catalyst.
