Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown will sign the richest deal in NBA history, a five-year, $304 million supermax contract extension, his agent, Jason Glushon, told ESPN’s Marc J. Spears.

Brown and Glushon met with Celtics management and ownership Sunday and the two-time All-Star will remain in Boston under contract through the 2028-29 season.

Brown’s deal exceeds two-time MVP Nikola Jokic’s $276 million extension with the Denver Nuggets, an increase based on the rise in the salary cap and league revenue. Brown, 26, took a physical Monday in Boston to solidify the deal.

Brown became eligible for the five-year supermax extension with the Celtics upon earning second-team All-NBA honors in 2022-23. Brown and teammate Jayson Tatum, eligible for a supermax extension next summer, constitute one of the NBA’s most productive duos and are cornerstones of the Celtics’ championship contender.

Brown will make $31.8 million next season in the final year of his previous deal.

Brown is slated to make $52.3 million when the contract first kicks in during the 2024-25 season and $69.1 million in 2028-29, the final year of the deal. He is not eligible for a no-trade clause because he signed an extension.
