ESPN SC | Shams Details Jalen Williams & Thunder Agree to 5‑Year/$287M Max Extension

🚨 On SportsCenter, Shams Charania confirms that Jalen Williams and the Oklahoma City Thunder have finalized a 5-year rookie max extension worth up to $287 million, the third such blockbuster after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren.

Williams was a key contributor to OKC’s 2025 NBA Championship and earned All-Star, All-NBA (Third Team), and All-Defensive honors in the regular season

The new deal means the Thunder have pledged around $822 million to their core trio, aiming at a sustained championship window

ESPN and Reuters emphasize Williams’ performance—21.6 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 5.1 APG, and a Finals 40-point game—as justification for the max extension
