Toronto Raptors All-Star forward Scottie Barnes intends to sign a five-year maximum rookie extension that could be worth up to $270 million, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Barnes’ reported deal would keep him in Toronto through the 2029-30 season and make him the highest-paid player in Raptors history. He’ll sign the pact on July 6 when the NBA’s free-agency moratorium ends.
The 22-year-old will make a minimum of $224.9 million over the deal, according to Keith Smith of Spotrac. Barnes’ contract also reportedly increases from 25% of the Raptors’ cap to 30% if he makes All-NBA or ALL-Defensive teams or wins MVP.
Barnes is coming off his first career All-Star appearance. He averaged 19.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.5 blocks, and 1.3 steals over 60 games in 2023-24, his third NBA campaign.
