The Portland Trail Blazers have agreed to a four year, $82M contract extension with wing Toumani Camara, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania:
Portland Trail Blazers All-Defensive forward Toumani Camara has agreed on a four-year, $82 million contract extension with the franchise, agent Dave Putterie tells ESPN. Camara has blossomed into a vital and durable two-way player after being picked No. 52 in the 2023 NBA draft.
“Camara had a $2.4M team option in 2026-27 that is now replaced with year 1 of the
extension,” and “he was eligible for up to 4 years and $87M,” according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks.
Camara, whose defense has been favorably compared to that of Scottie Pippen, was the first Trail Blazers player to make an NBA All Defense team (2025 Second Team) since Theo Ratliff in 2004.
Camara averaged 11.3 points, 5.8 boards, and 1.5 steals in 32.7 minutes per game over 78 games last season.
