Randle to Wolves: Contract Extension Confirmed | Basket USA

When he landed in Minneapolis in exchange for Karl-Anthony Towns last October, Julius Randle was considered an element that would not make old bones in the Minnesota. However, a year later, here he is extending there for $ 100 million over three years, says ESPN.

Over the months, the 30-year-old winger was able to find his place alongside Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert and the Timberwolves undoubtedly had to be reassured by his playoffs (21.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists), since we had probably never seen her so effective, mature and clean in his under pressure.

Now linked to Minnesota until 2028, but with a “Player option” for the 2027/28 exercise, Julius Randle (18.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists) will receive on average a little more per year than the 30.9 million dollars to which he could claim, if he had chosen to activate his “Player option” for 2025/26.

On the Wolves side, with such a contract, we also leave the possibility of transferring the All-Star interior if necessary. After Naz Reid, it is in any case a new player who re-signs in Minneapolis and this may further complicate the situation of Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
