Report: Gobert's deal guaranteed for just $90M

Russ Isabella-USA TODAY Sports

Only $90 million of the four-year, $102-million extension Rudy Gobert signed with the Utah Jazz on Monday is guaranteed, sources told The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The rest will be meted out in annual bonus incentives of up to $3 million, allowing Gobert to earn the full $102 million over the life of the deal.

Those bonuses could conceivably be tied to either performance or health, or both. The 24-year-old ranked third in the NBA in blocks per game in each of the past two seasons, and led the league both years in opponents' field-goal percentage at the rim.

Gobert missed 21 games last season due to ankle and knee sprains.
