Oklahoma City Thunder Secures Future with Million-Dollar Extension for Chet Holmgren
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reached an agreement with Chet Holmgren to extend his contract for five seasons, according to reports from Alofoke Deportes.
The agreement, estimated at around $250 million, represents the maximum extension allowed by the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement for a “rookie” player.
This renewal secures a key pillar for the team’s future for the Thunder.
With this renewal, the Thunder consolidate their long-term project, aiming to build a competitive team in the coming years.
Last week, the team announced the renewal of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, named MVP of the regular season and Finals, for four seasons and $285 million.
The Thunder are now focusing on the renewal of Jalen Williams, who is part of the young key trio for the franchise’s project.
Holmgren has averaged 15 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists per game this season, despite having been out of action for four months due to a fractured pelvis.
