Herb Jones and the New Orleans Pelicans have agreed to a three-year, $68 million contract extension. Jones is now under contract for the next five seasons at $97 million. Jones also holds a player option for the 2029-30 season.

Jones was an All-Defensive first team selection during the 2023-24 season. Jones also shot 42 percent from three during that season.

Jones was limited to 20 games last season due to shoulder and labrum injuries.

Jones was a second round pick in 2021 out of Alabama.

Lost season for him last year, I would expect him to bounce back this season in a positive way.

Crazy, even this guy is getting ~23mil / year, no wonder people like Kuminga and Giddey are asking for the world even when there's no market for them.
