The Oklahoma City Thunder have exercised their 2026-27 rookie scale team options on guard Nikola Topic and guard Cason Wallace.
For Topic, this triggers the third-year option of his contract, while for Wallace it activates the fourth-year option.
With the move, Topic is now locked in at $5.4 million for next season.
He has yet to appear in an NBA game, as he missed his entire rookie year while recovering from a torn ACL.
He is currently rehabbing from testicular surgery and is expected to make his NBA debut later in the regular season once cleared.
For Wallace, the option secures him at $7.4 million for 2026-27.
He has established himself as an important part of the Thunder rotation and has shown the ability to contribute both as a starter and off the bench.
Wallace will be eligible to sign a rookie-scale extension next summer.
