The reigning NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder picked up the fourth-year option on guard Cason Wallace and the third-year option on guard Nikola Topic on Sunday.
Wallace, 21, will earn $7.42 million for the 2026-27 season, while Topic will receive $5.43 million for the same campaign.
Wallace averaged 8.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals in 68 games (43 starts) last season, his second in the NBA. He averaged 6.8 points in 82 games (13 starts) as a rookie and has made 152 3-pointers in 150 career games.
Wallace entered the league as a first-round pick (10th overall) in the 2023 draft out of Kentucky.
Topic, 20, was the 12th overall pick of the 2024 draft but missed the season due to a partially torn ACL in his left knee.
The Serbian underwent a testicular procedure on Oct. 6 and was slated to miss four to six weeks, according to the Thunder.
The Thunder begin defense of their NBA title when they host the Houston Rockets on Tuesday.
