Rudy Gobert Secures 3-Year, $110M Extension with Timberwolves

The four-time Defensive Player of the Year confirms a new deal, enhancing Minnesota's long-term roster stability.

Rudy Gobert declined a $46.6 million player option for the 2025-26 season to sign a three-year extension with the Timberwolves.
The contract includes a player option for the 2027-28 season and a trade kicker, providing flexibility for both Gobert and the team.
Gobert's extension comes after Minnesota traded Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks, increasing his role in the team.
Gobert, a three-time All-Star, helped lead the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals last season.
The deal is seen as a strategic move to maintain Minnesota's competitiveness while managing salary cap constraints.
