Thunder lock up Chet Holmgren on extension

ESPN's Ben Golliver reports Oklahoma City may have to break up its Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren trio once Gilgeous-Alexander's salary jumps in 2027-28, forcing cuts under second-apron rules.

The Athletic's Marcus Thompson suggested on the Warriors Plus Minus podcast that Golden State should watch Chet Holmgren's situation in Oklahoma City. Thompson raised the idea that a poor season could push the Thunder to consider moving him.

Oklahoma City signed guard Anthony Pritchard to a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract. The Tulsa native went undrafted in 2025 and spent last season with the G League's Oklahoma City Blue, averaging 11.2 points and 5.5 assists.
