A little more than a week after they acquired Kristaps Porzingis, the Celtics appear to have him under team control for the foreseeable future.
The Celtics and Porzingis are finalizing a two-year extension worth approximately $60 million, Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes reported Friday evening. Porzingis could have been a free agent this summer, but he decided to pick up the $36 million option he had for the 2023-24 season in order to facilitate a trade to the Celtics earlier in June.
Once the reported extension becomes official, Porzingis will be under contract through the 2025-26 season.
