Anunoby, Raptors agree to 4-year extension

TORONTO

Forward OG Anunoby and the Toronto Raptors have agreed to a multi-year contract extension.

The Raptors announced the deal with the 23-year-old Anunoby on Monday, but did not disclose financial terms per team policy.

The new contract is reportedly a four-year, US$72 million deal including a player-option for the 2024-2025 campaign, according to multiple reports.

Anunoby could have been a restricted free agent next summer, and the Raptors had until Monday to get a new deal done. The contract kicks in for the 2021-22 season.

ESPN was first to report the terms of the deal between Toronto and Anunoby.

The six-foot-eight Anunoby averaged career highs of 10.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 29.9 minutes in 69 games last season, starting in 68 of those.
