Bucks and Holiday agree to 4-year contract extension

Milwaukee's starting guard set for massive payday

MILWAUKEE, Wis. - Milwaukee Bucks star guard Jrue Holiday has agreed to a four-year, $134 million contract extension, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Holiday will earn at least $134 million in the deal, which includes $134,997,333 guaranteed. This is a significant increase from his previous contract, which was for four years and $134,400,000.

Holiday, 33, has been a key piece for the Bucks since being acquired in a blockbuster trade with the New Orleans Pelicans before the 2020-21 season. He is a two-time All-Star and an All-NBA Defensive Second Team selection. In 67 games with the Bucks this season, Holiday is averaging 19.5 points, 5 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game.

The Bucks are currently the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference with a record of 46-25. They will face the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs.

The contract extension is a sign that the Bucks are committed to keeping Holiday in Milwaukee for the long term. He is a key part of their championship aspirations, and they will need him to continue to play at a high level if they want to win their second title in three years.
