The Portland Trail Blazers have re-signed center Robert Williams III to a three-year, $44 million contract extension, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Williams, who is now returning for his fourth season with the Blazers and is extended through 2028-29, was a valuable rim protector and defender throughout Portland’s season and during its playoff run.
Although Williams has been with the Blazers for three seasons, he struggled with injuries and played just 26 games across his first two years with the team.
He bounced back last season, appearing in 59 games and averaging 6.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks while shooting 70.8% from the field.
Williams will rejoin a young Blazers frontcourt that includes bigs such as Donovan Clingan, Hansen Yang and recently signed Branden Carlson.
