The Pelicans haven’t made an official announcement, but McCollum’s agent Sam Goldfeder confirmed the news to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski this past weekend. According to Goldfeder, his client received a two-year, $64 million extension.

With this extension, McCollum is now under contract with the Pelicans through the 2025-26 NBA season. New Orleans young stars Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram are also on long-term deals with the same duration.

McCollum himself also confirmed having a new deal by retweeting several posts on social media.

The New Orleans Pelicans acquired CJ McCollum in early February, sending talented duo Josh Hart and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, among other players, alongside 2022 protected first-round pick and two second-rounders to the Portland Trail Blazers. McCollum made an immediate impact in New Orleans, playing 26 games and averaging career-high 24.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.8 assists.

Thanks to McCollum, the Pelicans managed to sneak into the play-in tournament, where they beat the San Antonio Spurs to make the playoffs as the eighth seed in the Western Conference. The 31-year-old averaged 22.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in the postseason, but New Orleans fell to the Phoenix Suns in six games in the first round.

McCollum was injured in his team’s 112-106 win over the Atlanta Hawks over the weekend and did not play on Monday night in a loss to the Spurs. The team announced on Tuesday that McCollum’s injury, which was previously deemed a strain, was more serious than they originally thought.

The Ohio native has averaged at least 20 points per game over the last five seasons with Portland, and had gotten off to the hottest start of his career in the 2020-21 season. McCollum is averaging 26.7 points per game along with 5 assists and 3.9 rebounds while shooting 47% from the field.

The team is expected to re-analyze his left foot in four weeks, and if nothing goes wrong in his recovery, he should be back on the court soon after that.

Rodney Hood and Carmelo Anthony should see increased playing time until the Blazers are able to get McCollum back in the lineup.

McCollum, who will turn 28 in September, is set to become Portland’s second-highest paid player behind point guard Damian Lillard. He’s been a member of the Trail Blazers franchise since the team selected him with the 10th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft.

The Lehigh spent his first two seasons as a reserve for Portland, but then broke into the starting lineup in the 2015-16 season. He captured the league’s Most Improved Player Award after putting up a big season, averaging 20.8 points per game on 45% shooting in his breakout campaign.

The guard’s production for Portland has been consistent ever since then, as he has averaged over 20 points per game during his last four seasons with the Blazers. He forms half of a stellar backcourt attack with Damian Lillard, which has turned the team into regular Western Conference contenders in recent seasons.

Now, with his new contract, McCollum is set to stick with Portland through the end of the 2021-22 season, at least. The franchise is no doubt thrilled to keep him in the Moda Center for the foreseeable future.
