Jaylin Williams has agreed to a longterm contract extension to remain with the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to a report.
That’s per ESPN’s Shams Charania, who says the former Arkansas Razorback will sign a 3-year, $24 million deal to remain with the reigning champs. As part of the deal, Oklahoma City declined its $2.1 million team option for the 2025-26 campaign.
Charania reports that OKC will have a team option in the final year of its 3-year agreement with Williams.

Williams played a key reserve role for Oklahoma City in its march to the NBA Finals. His biggest impact in the playoffs came in the Denver series when he helped guard Nikola Jokic for stretches of play. He averaged 10.6 minutes per game against the Nuggets and scored 24 points on 18 shots in totality.
Williams also received praise from head coach Mark Daigneault for his presence in timeouts throughout the postseason. Perhaps most notably, Williams had a memorable moment during Oklahoma City’s Championship parade last week.
While there’s little path toward Williams being a starter longterm in Oklahoma City, he’ll now make approximately $8 million annually over the next 3 years while playing for a title contender.
