Miami Heat All-Star guard Jimmy Butler has signed a four-year, $184 million contract extension with the team, his agent, Bernie Lee, told ESPN.
Butler is extending off of his $36 million salary for the 2021-22 season and holds a player option for $37.6 million in the 2022-23 season.
The deal will keep him under contract through the 2025-26 season.
“Jimmy is the anchor and face of our franchise along with Bam [Adebayo] and Kyle [Lowry],” Heat president Pat Riley said in a statement. “With Jimmy, we get an All-NBA player, an All-NBA Defensive player, tough as nails and a complete player across the board. He’s very deserving of this contract as he continually puts himself at the top of the league at his position. Having him in the HEAT organization has been a great, great coup for us.”
Butler, 31, is a centerpiece of Miami’s reshaped roster that will try to return to the NBA Finals for the second time in three years next season.
