Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams has agreed to a two-year, $25.2 million contract extension, tying him to the franchise through the 2024-2025 season, his agent, Darren Matsubara of Wasserman, told ESPN on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Adams, 29, was entering the final year of his deal, and now is under contract for three years and $43.1 million for a Grizzlies franchise trying to take the next step to championship contention.<\/p>\n

Adams was eager to reach a deal on an extension, believing in his opportunity to win a championship with the Grizzlies, Matsubara told ESPN.<\/p>\n

The Grizzlies value Adams on a number of levels, including his cultural impact on a maturing roster and his on-court presence, having led the NBA in offensive rebounding percentage and offensive rebounds per game a season ago.<\/p>\n

Adams played an integral part in Memphis leading the league in second-chance points last season, and ranked in the top five in screen assists per game in the NBA, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.<\/p>\n

Adams completed his first full season with the Grizzlies averaging career highs in rebounds (10) and assists (3.4).<\/p>\n

He arrived in an offseason trade from the New Orleans Pelicans, where he spent a season after playing his first seven NBA seasons on several championship-contending teams with the Oklahoma City Thunder.<\/p>\n

Adams has averaged eight points and 9.3 rebounds on 58.7 field goal percentage shooting in his 664 career games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
