Alex Caruso and the OKC Thunder agreed to a contract extension Sunday night. Afterward, Thunder rising star big man Chet Holmgren shouted out the defensive-minded veteran via a two-word social media message.
Acquired from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for fourth-year guard Josh Giddey in June, Caruso entered the season on a $9.9 million expiring contract. However, amid his high-level early season defensive impact, OKC wasted no time locking down his services long-term.
Per ESPN's Shams Charania, a day after Caruso became extension-eligible on Saturday, he inked a four-year, $81 million contract extension. The deal locks the two-time All-Defensive team selectee up through the 2028-29 season.
