Thunder Exercise 2026/27 Options On Topic, Wallace
The Thunder have exercised their 2026/27 team options on guards Nikola Topic and Cason Wallace, the team announced in a press release.
Wallace, the 10th overall pick of the 2023 draft, will now earn a guaranteed $7,420,806 in ’26/27, which will be his fourth season. He will be eligible for a rookie scale extension next summer.
Topic, the 12th pick of last year’s draft, will earn $5,429,760 in ’26/27 (his third season). Both players already had guaranteed contracts for ’25/26.
Wallace, who turns 22 next month, has been a rotation regular over the past two seasons for the defending champions. In 68 regular season games (27.6 minutes per contest) in ’24/25, the defensive stalwart averaged 8.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals on .474/.356/.811 shooting.
Thunder Secure Promising Backcourt Duo With Contract Decisions
The Oklahoma City Thunder are continuing to invest in their young core. The team announced on October 19 that it has exercised its third-year contract option on guard Nikola Topic and fourth-year option on guard Cason Wallace.
The move locks in both guards through at least the 2026–27 season as part of Oklahoma City’s long-term plans under general manager Sam Presti.
Topic, the 12th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, has yet to make his Thunder debut after missing the 2024–25 season recovering from a left knee injury. Before being drafted, the 6-foot-6 Serbian guard starred for Crvena zvezda in the Adriatic League, averaging 11.1 points, 4.3 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 28.4 minutes in 18 games for Crvena zvezda in the 2023-24 season
