Tar Heels in NBA: Little gets extension, Johnson can’t strike deal, Jackson on Celtics roster

Posted Oct 18, 2022
Nassir Little and Cameron Johnson start their fourth NBA seasons Wednesday and sought extensions of their rookie contracts, but only Little was able to strike a deal. Little agreed to a four-year $28-million contract extension with Portland. He could have declined and hoped for a bigger deal if he had a breakout season. He opted for financial security.
