New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones agreed to a three-year, $68 million extension, according to multiple reports on Thursday.
The defensive stalwart had two seasons and just less than $29 million left on a four-year, $53.8 million deal. He'll now have a player option for the 2029-30 season.
Jones, 26, was limited to 20 games last season due to February surgery for a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He averaged 10.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.9 steals.
Over four seasons, Jones has averages of 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals in 240 games (231 starts). He is a 36.6 percent shooter from 3-point range.
Jones was All-Defensive first team during the 2023-24 season. He had 105 steals and a career-high 62 blocked shots that season.
Jones was a second-round pick (No. 35 overall) out of Alabama in the 2021 NBA Draft.
