Kristaps Porzingis, the recently acquired forward/center for the Boston Celtics, has agreed to a two-year extension worth $96 million, which will expire after the 2025–2026 season.

To complete the deal, Porzingis chose to exercise his $36 million player option for the next season.

The 28-year-old Porzingis averaged a career-high 23.2 points per game for the Wizards in their previous campaign.
