Cavs, Allen agree to 5-year, $100M contract

Free-agent center Jarrett Allen is staying with the Cleveland Cavaliers on a new five-year, $100-million contract, his agents told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Allen, 23, was acquired from the Brooklyn Nets early in the 2020-21 campaign as part of the four-team James Harden trade.

In 51 appearances with the Cavaliers, Allen averaged 13.2 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game with strong shooting efficiency.
