Cason Wallace has agreed to a five-year, $139 million rookie-scale contract extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder, per Shams Charania of ESPN.

Cason Wallace, OKC Thunder sign rookie extension
Cason Wallace and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Monday deadline to agree to a potential rookie-scale contract extension.
The 10th overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft, Wallace immediately established himself as a robust piece of the Thunder core with his defense and reliability, helping OKC win it all back in the 2024-25 season.
Wallace averaged 8.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game across 77 appearances (58 starts) last season. Tallying a career-best 1.9 steals, he was named a member of the 2025-26 NBA All-Defensive Second Team.
With the trade departure of Lu Dort this past offseason, Wallace is now a starter and OKC's backcourt partner to two-time MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Wallace and OKC will open their 2026-27 season on Tuesday in San Antonio against the Spurs.
