Randolph led the Grizzlies to their first-ever post-season victory Sunday, scoring 25 points and grabbing 14 rebounds against the top-seeded San Antonio Spurs.

"During a week that has seen the Grizzlies franchise take a significant step forward with its first-ever postseason victory, it is incredibly meaningful for this organization to be able to take another by ensuring that Zach Randolph will continue to play on Beale Street for many years to come," Grizzlies General Manager Chris Wallace said.

The contract reportedly includes $5 million in added incentives.

The 6-foot-9 forward, who has averaged 20.4 points and 11.9 rebounds in 156 games with Memphis, was in line to become an unrestricted free agent July 1.
