2019/20 NBA Contract Extension Tracker

NBA teams have spent record-setting amounts of money on free agents this summer, but many of the most lucrative contracts that have been signed within the last week weren’t free agent deals at all — they were contract extensions.

Extensions, of course, don’t involve adding a new player to the roster. By extending a contract, a team ensures that a current player will remain locked up for multiple years to come. Although a contract extension may not change the club’s outlook on the court, it can have a major impact on that team’s salary cap situation for the next several summers.

Rookie scale extensions are the most common form of contract extension, and Ben Simmons and Jamal Murray became the first two members of the 2016 draft class to sign those. However, they won’t be the last. There are many other players eligible for new deals up until the mid-October deadline, and it’s common for about four to eight players entering the final year of their respective rookie contracts to sign extensions.

While they’ve historically been less common than rookie-scale extensions, veteran extensions are happening more frequently these days, with the league’s current Collective Bargaining Agreement expanding the rules for eligibility and creating some additional incentives for star players to sign new deals before they reach free agency. Seven players signed veteran extensions during the 2017/18 league year, and three more signed them in 2018/19.

Listed below are the players who have finalized contract extensions so far in the 2019/20 league year. This list, which can be found on the right-hand sidebar under “Hoops Rumors Features” on our desktop site (or on the “Features” page in our mobile menu) will be kept up to date throughout the offseason — and throughout the ’19/20 regular season if any veteran players ink an extension at that point.
