Oklahoma City: So, Alex Caruso just signed a sweet deal with the Thunder. He’s all in for four more years, and it’s worth a whopping $81 million. Pretty cool, right?
He’s been talking about how excited he is to be part of this team. Caruso mentioned that he sees a lot of potential in Oklahoma City and wants to stick around for the ride.
The Thunder announced the extension, and it’s right on target with what folks expected. This deal is more than double what he’s making this season, which is around $9.9 million.
Caruso became eligible for this extension after being traded from the Bulls six months ago. It’s a big win for him, especially since he went undrafted and has worked his way up in the NBA.
He’s not one to settle, either. Caruso shared how he’s always pushed himself, from being undrafted to making it to the All-Defensive Team. He’s really proud of his journey.
Even though his stats aren’t huge—5.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game—he’s a vital part of the Thunder’s defense. They’re currently one of the top teams in the league, and Caruso plays a big role in that.
Locking him in for four years? Smart move by the Thunder. It’s a good fit for both sides, and fans are definitely excited to see what’s next!
