Wendell Carter Jr. agrees to massive extension with Magic

Yesterday at 10:19 PM

The Orlando Magic are continuing on in their path to sustained playoff contention. On Tuesday night, the Magic kept a member of their starting lineup for the long haul after coming to terms to a three-year, $59 million extension with Wendell Carter Jr., per Shams Charania of ESPN.

Carter still had two years left on his existing deal; he was set to make a total of around $22.7 million until the 2025-26 season, but his new contract with the Magic takes his total salary now to $82 million over the next five seasons.

This was the maximum amount that Carter could have signed in a three-year extension with the Magic as per the CBA rules, and now, Orlando has its starting center under contract until his age-29 season.
