Anthony Davis, Los Angeles Lakers agree on a three-year, $186 million extension
The HinduAnthony Davis will be under contract with the Los Angeles Lakers for the next five seasons, after agreeing to an extension that comes with the highest per-season average salary in NBA history. Davis and the Lakers have agreed on a three-year, $186 million contract extension, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul said Friday. At an average value of $62 million per season, the extension becomes the richest annual agreement in league history, surpassing the average of $60.8 million per season that Boston Celtics wing Jaylen Brown got last month as part of his five-year supermax deal worth up to $304 million. It will push Davis’ career on-court earnings to roughly $500 million by the time the contract expires, and in the final three years of the deal, he’ll make about $750,000 for every regular-season game on the Lakers’ schedule.
