Celtics Lock in Pritchard with $44M Extension Featuring Mutual Option
Payton Pritchard has agreed to a two-year, $44.2 million contract extension with the Boston Celtics, securing his role on the team through the 2028-29 season. The deal, which includes a mutual option for 2029-30, was finalized days before the October 19 deadline. While the contract guarantees Pritchard approximately $85 million in total earnings through his first ten seasons, analysts view it as a significant financial bargain for Boston. The agreement follows Pritchard’s career-best season, where he averaged 17.0 points, 5.2 assists, and 3.9 rebounds, and positions him for a potentially larger role following the trade of Jaylen Brown.
