Jazz Lock Up George for Future | Utah Jazz News

Utah just handed Keyonte George a five-year, $157.5 million extension — locking him down through 2032 and paying him over $31 million annually. After a breakout 2024-25 season where he averaged 23.6 points and 6.1 assists while starting all 54 games, George is now firmly entrenched as a franchise cornerstone. This deal, alongside Lauri Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Darius Miller, solidifies Utah’s young core for the long haul. With nearly $600 million committed to this group, the Jazz are betting big on George to lead their rebuild — even after missing the playoffs for four straight years and posting just 22 wins in 2025-26. The future is now, and George is at the center of it. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
