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.
Outstanding value extension for the Trail Blazers with Toumani Camara. One of the league’s best defensive players, while improving every year on offense. Well worth $21M AAV. Good work by Portland to get this done.
Toumani Camara was eligible for $87 million over four years on an extension, which would have still been worth it. The fact that he took even below that number is a huge win for the Blazers.
Camara averaged 11.3 points, 5.8 boards, and 1.5 steals in 32.7 minutes per game over 78 games last season.
