Julius Randle and the Minnesota Timberwolves Have Reportedly Reached an Agreement on a New Contract Extension That Will Keep the Star Forward With the Team for Three Additional Years at a Total Value of One Hundred Million Dollars, According to Multiple Reports

The 3-time All-Star reportedly reaches a new deal to stay in Minnesota through the 2027-28 season.

Julius Randle showcased his dominance on both ends of the floor during the Timberwolves playoff run in 2024-25.

Julius Randle and the Minnesota Timberwolves are finalizing a new deal that could keep him with the club through the 2027-28 season, a person with knowledge of the agreement said Sunday.

The final year of the deal will be at Randle’s option and, if it is exercised, could push the total value of the contract to $100 million, the person said.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither side announced the agreement. ESPN and The Athletic first reported the agreement.

Randle had a $30.9 million player option for this coming season and could have been an unrestricted free agent in 2026.

He averaged 18.7 points and 7.1 rebounds per game this past season, his first with the Timberwolves, and helped the team make the Western Conference finals. Randle was one of the primary pieces in the trade last fall that sent Karl-Anthony Towns from Minnesota to New York. Randle had spent five seasons with the Knicks before that trade.

A three-time All-Star, Randle has averaged 19 points and 9.1 rebounds per game in 11 seasons with the Timberwolves, Knicks, New Orleans and the Los Angeles Lakers.
