Jarrett Allen isn’t going anywhere.

Allen averaged a career-high 16.5 points and 10.5 rebounds last season, his third full season with the Cavaliers. The 26-year-old had a career-high 42 double-doubles on the season, too, which was the most by a Cavaliers player since LeBron James during the 2017-18 campaign.
Allen was injured in the playoffs, but he was a dominant force early on in their first round series against the Orlando Magic before he went down. The Cavaliers lost in the Eastern Conference semifinals to the Boston Celtics, which marked their deepest postseason run since they fell in the Finals in 2018. Allen missed the entire series against the Cavaliers with a rib injury.
Allen is now the third significant Cavaliers player to sign an extension this summer, following star Donovan Mitchell and forward Evan Mobley.
