zbet911 The Orlando Magic franchise announced a new 3-year, $59 million contract extension for center Wendell ( zbet911s ) Carter Jr. zbet911
According to ESPN, Carter Jr. currently has two years remaining on his current deal, meaning that with the new deal added, it will run through the end of the 2028-29 season. ( zbet911 )
The Magic acquired Carter Jr. from the Chicago Bulls in March 2021 after the COVID-19 season, which led to a somewhat skewed calendar. The former Duke University player averaged 11 points and 6.9 rebounds in 58 games last season.
It was a busy summer for Orlando, as the team also signed frontcourt duo Franz Wagner and Jonathan Isaac.
Reserves Goka Bitadze, Gary Harry and Moritz Wagner have also extended their contracts.
The main free agent players that were acquired were long-range shooting forwards with tough defense, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
The Magic went 47-35 last season but unfortunately lost in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference playoff series to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
