The Toronto Raptors agreed to a multi-year contract extension with forward O.G. Anunoby on Monday.
The Raptors did not disclose the terms but ESPN reported the deal was for four years and worth $72 million.
Anunoby also reportedly gets a player-option for the 2024-25 season.
“OG is the epitome of the skilled, powerful, determined player we want in our organization long-term. Remember, he doesn’t shoot to miss,” Raptors general manager Bobby Webster said in a statement. “We’re really pleased that OG will be with us for seasons to come.”
Anunoby, 23, had a breakout season for Toronto in 2019-20, averaging 10.6 points per game to go along with 5.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists across nearly 30 minutes per game.
Anunoby shot a career-high 39 percent from 3-point range this past season, which was a drastic improvement from his 2018-19 clip (33.2 percent).
His free-throw shooting also improved from 58.1 percent to a career-best 70.6 percent in his third year.
