Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert has reached a three-year, $110 million contract extension, sources told ESPN on Tuesday night.

The Timberwolves and Gobert's agent, Bouna Ndiaye, negotiated the new deal and finalized an agreement before tipoff of Tuesday's season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers, locking in the league-record four-time Defensive Player of the Year in Minnesota.

Gobert declined his $46.6 million player option for 2025-26 and received a fresh multiyear deal, providing the Timberwolves with significant flexibility as the franchise juggles increasing salary cap bills.

As negotiations went on, Gobert expressed faith in the Timberwolves' approach to contention and exploring a creative route to receive financial security and allowing the organization to continue adding pieces.
