The Cleveland Cavaliers are signing center Jarrett Allen to a three-year max extension worth $91 million, ESPN reported Wednesday.

Allen, 26, averaged a career-high 16.5 points and 10.5 rebounds in 77 starts for the Cavs last season. He made the All-Star team with Cleveland in 2021-22.

He averages 12.7 points and 9.1 rebounds in 486 career games (421 starts) for the Brooklyn Nets (2017-21) and the Cavs. He was selected No. 22 overall by the Nets in the 2017 draft.

Allen is the third Cavs player to sign extensions this summer, joining Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley.
