Just as he suggested when training camp opened, Kevin Durant has indeed signed a contract extension to remain with the Houston Rockets.
The two-year extension, which is the maximum contract length Durant can sign at 37 years old, is for $90 million and contains a player option for year two, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
While Durant’s deal is for the maximum length, it is not for the maximum money. Durant was eligible to sign a two-year deal for as much as $122 million, so the agreement represents a sizable discount for the future Hall of Famer.
