Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid is expected to sign a new five-year, $125 million contract, according to an ESPN report.
Per league rules, the contract will be officially signed on July 6.
Reid declined a $15 million player option for the upcoming 2025-26 season but will be compensated with his new, more lucrative contract.
The 2023-24 Sixth Man of the Year, Reid had another strong season coming off the bench for Minnesota, averaging a career-high 14.2 points and 6.0 rebounds in 27.5 minutes per game. In 17 games as a starter, he averaged 18.3 points and 9.0 rebounds.
He signed a three-year, $42 million deal in 2023 with a player option this summer. He has spent his entire six-year NBA career with the Timberwolves after joining the team in 2019 as an undrafted free agent out of LSU.
