Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum has agreed to a three-year contract extension, the team announced on Tuesday.

The value of the extension is £82m ($100m), according to multiple reports. It increases the 27-year-old's current deal to five years and £129m ($157m) through to 2023-24.

McCollum's signing follows the Trail Blazers locking up All-Star guard Damian Lillard earlier this summer on a four-year, £161m ($196m) 'supermax' extension through to the 2024-25 season.
