The Oklahoma City Thunder has signed center Isaiah Hartenstein to a multi-year contract, it was announced by Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti.
Hartenstein has appeared in 104 games (99 starts) in his first two seasons in Oklahoma City and averaged 10.3 points on 59.7% shooting, 10.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 26.2 minutes per contest. In his eight NBA seasons, he has appeared in 426 games (160 starts) and owns career averages of 7.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 20.0 minutes per game.
Since joining the Thunder on July 6, 2024, Hartenstein has helped the Thunder to consecutive seasons as the number one seed in the Western Conference and a 132-32 overall record, best in the NBA during that span. The Eugene, Oregon native has also helped the Thunder to consecutive seasons with the top defensive rating in the NBA. This past season, opponents made just 43.3% of their two-point shots when Hartenstein was contesting (1st among players who defended at least 350 shots).
