The Oklahoma City Thunder re-signed center Isaiah Hartenstein to a three-year, $75 million contract ahead of the 2026-27 season. Hartenstein's return follows trades that shed over $20 million off the team's cap sheet, aligning with their efforts to maneuver below the second apron. Last season, he averaged 9.2 points and 9.4 rebounds in 47 games, playing a crucial role in both regular season and postseason matchups. The Thunder now focus on two remaining roster decisions concerning team options for Luguentz Dort and Kenrich Williams, which will impact their salary cap situation this summer.
