OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) A month after Kevin Durant bolted for Golden State, star guard Russell Westbrook signed a contract extension to stay in Oklahoma City.
The team confirmed Thursday that Westbrook signed the extension. A person with direct knowledge of the terms said the two sides agreed on a new three-year deal worth $85.7 million. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team did not release terms.
After the announcement, Westbrook briefly addressed a crowd of about 1,500 people in front of Chesapeake Energy Arena before entering the lobby, where highlights of his eight-year career with the Thunder were played on a large screen.
Westbrook said, ”Me being able to come back here is a true blessing. There is nowhere else I’d rather be than Oklahoma City.”
