The Oklahoma City Thunder exercised forward Lu Dort’s $17.7 million contract option for the 2026-27 season on Monday.
The decision keeps Dort under contract with Oklahoma City for that season, maintaining continuity with a player who has been a regular part of the Thunder’s rotation.
Dort, known for his physical perimeter defense, has been an important wing presence for Oklahoma City. By picking up the option, the Thunder retain his rights for 2026-27 under the terms of his existing deal.
