Chet Holmgren and Oklahoma City Thunder Agree on a 5-Year Contract Extension, AP Source Says
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, JUL 9 – Oklahoma City Thunder secured Holmgren with a fully guaranteed $250 million extension after their 2025 NBA title, rewarding his key defensive role despite prior injury setbacks.
- The Oklahoma City Thunder won the NBA championship on June 22, 2025, defeating the Indiana Pacers in a seven-game series in Oklahoma City.
- The Thunder's success followed a season marked by injuries to key player Chet Holmgren, who missed most of the season due to a hip fracture but returned for the playoffs.
- Holmgren played 32 regular-season games averaging 15 points and 2.2 blocks per game, and all 23 playoff games, while the team led the NBA in defensive rating, field goal defense, and opponent turnovers.
- Holmgren agreed to a fully guaranteed five-year contract extension reportedly worth nearly $240 million, potentially rising to $250 million through escalators, shortly after the Thunder secured a four-year, $285 million extension for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
- These contract extensions lock in the Thunder's core as they aim to repeat their championship, maintaining the youngest title-winning team since 1977 and keeping all playoff contributors under contract next season.
