CHET HOLMGREN AND THE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER ... The Thunder grew from upstarts to champions in the blink of an eye. Now, their stars' bank accounts are growing, too. Chet Holmgren agreed to a fully guaranteed five-year maximum rookie extension worth up to $250 million.

Imagine telling someone 12 months ago that Cooper Flagg’s Summer League debut would come in a Mavericks jersey against Bronny James, while LeBron James might be eyeing a new team because the Lakers want to build around Luka Dončić.

The No. 1 draft pick is expected to take the court for Dallas against the Lakers tonight at 8 p.m. ET, with tickets available through multiple platforms.
