The extension will keep the two-time NBA All-Defensive Team guard with Oklahoma City through the 2028-29 season.

The Thunder have a clear path to title contention for the next two seasons and zero short-term financial concerns after signing Alex Caruso to his $81 million extension.

Alex Caruso has agreed to a four-year, $81 million contract extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to ESPN. The contract represents the most the Thunder can legally pay Caruso, and the two sides needed to wait six months after his acquisition via trade for a deal of this size to be legal.
