    IT looks like Jordan Clarkson is staying put in Utah - but it will cost the Jazz more.

    The 31-year old guard is finalizing a three-year, $55-million contract that will see the final year of his old Utah deal renegotiated and his contract with the Jazz extended through the 2025-2026 season, The Athletic reported.

    Citing sources, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported that Clarkson, represented by Klutch Sports' powerful CEO Rich Paul and agent Brandon Cavanaugh, are in the process of closing the deal.

    The former Sixth Man of the Year winner holds a player option worth $14.2 million for the upcoming 2023-24 season as part of the four-year, $52M contract he signed with the Jazz in 2020, after his arrival from Cleveland.

      Clarkson had until June 30 to opt in or opt out and until news of the new deal were leaked, unconfirmed reports bared the Fil-Am guard had opted in.

      "Not yet final," a member of the Clarkson camp said when asked to confirm the deal.

      The 6-5 guard is one of three naturalized players in the Gilas buildup and is expected to get the World Cup spot if available.
