The Oklahoma City Thunder and star wing Jalen Williams have agreed to a five-year maximum rookie contract extension that could pay the 24-year-old up to $287 million guaranteed, according to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania.
Williams, who was an integral part of Oklahoma City's NBA title run, averaged 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists on 48.4% shooting from the floor. He was named Third-Team All-NBA as a result.
The extension agreement with Williams puts a stamp on a busy summer so far for the Thunder, who have also signed league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to a supermax contract extension, and are just 24 hours removed from agreeing to a max rookie extension with center Chet Holmgren.
The Thunder's core of Gilgeous-Alexander, Williams and Holmgren are now all locked in for the foreseeable future.
