Washington Wizards forward Corey Kispert has agreed to a four-year, $54 million contract extension, his agents, Mark Bartelstein and Andy Shiffman of Priority Sports, told ESPN.
The deal comes ahead of the 6 p.m. ET deadline for rookie extensions.
Kispert, 24, is coming off a year in which he averaged a career-high 13.4 points while shooting 38.3% from distance on six attempts per game. He closed the season with 19 straight starts and averaged 17.2 points on 50.8% shooting from the field and 43.9% from 3 in those games.
A prolific 3-point shooter, Kispert’s 459 career 3s are the most by a Wizards player through their first three NBA seasons in franchise history.
The Wizards drafted Kispert out of Gonzaga with the No. 15 pick in the 2021 draft.
