Larsson agreed to a four-year, $60 million extension with the Heat on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Larsson is coming off a solid 2025-26 campaign in which he averaged 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.7 steals across 26.4 minutes per game in 70 regular-season appearances (54 starts). The 25-year-old swingman figures to continue seeing meaningful minutes and will likely compete for additional playing time with the likes of Klay Thompson, Tim Hardaway and Ryan Conwell (hip).

George and the Jazz agreed to a five-year, $157.5 million contract extension Friday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

The writing was on the wall for this move a long time ago, as there was a lot of mutual interest to get this done quickly. George averaged 23.6 points, 6.1 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 33.1 minutes per contest during the 2025-26 regular season, and moving forward he'll get to play alongside No. 2 overall pick Darryn Peterson in a new-look backcourt.

The Lakers signed Watson to an Exhibit 10 deal Thursday, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Watson appeared in nine regular-season games for the Knicks in 2024-25. He then spent the 2025-26 campaign in the G League. In 50 regular-season games with South Bay, Watson averaged 11.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.4 steals over 27.2 minutes per contest. The 25-year-old will get another opportunity to suit up for Los Angeles this season, though another stint in the G League may be the most realistic outcome.

Bey agreed to a three-year, $55.5 million contract extension with New Orleans on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Bey, who sat out the 2024-25 season after suffering a torn ACL, proved to the Pelicans that he's deserving of a raise. He averaged 17.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.1 made threes in 72 appearances during the 2025-26 season, and following this healthy extension, he'll presumably play a key role in the frontcourt heading into the new campaign, even with Bennedict Mathurin entering the mix.

Bona (foot) will be re-evaluated at the start of training camp, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

Bona suffered a foot sprain this offseason, clouding his ability to participate in camp later this month. It's unclear if his status for Opening Night is in serious doubt, as he does have about a month until the regular season begins. Until Bona is cleared to retake the floor, Dominick Barlow and Ariel Hukporti should handle the backup center reps.

Leonard and the Raptors have held advanced discussions and are nearing an agreement on a contract extension, Jake Fischer of The Stein Line reports.

Leonard is eligible to sign for up to two years and $126 million. An extension would solidify Leonard's long-term future in Toronto and remove any uncertainty surrounding his contract situation heading into the 2026-27 campaign. After his trade was recently completed, his fantasy outlook is much more straightforward heading into training camp.

Brown signed an Exhibit 9 contract with the Knicks on Wednesday.

This is essentially a training camp invite with injury protections, so Brown will not be guaranteed a roster spot. Across 539 career regular-season games, the veteran guard holds averages of 8.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists per showing.

Payton agreed to a deal with the Kings on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com reports.

Scotto mentions that Payton will compete for a roster spot in camp, indicating that this is an Exhibit 10 contract. Payton holds career NBA averages of 9.8 points, 5.8 assists and 4.0 rebounds per contest.

McMillian agreed to a training-camp contract with the Warriors on Tuesday, Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot reports.

McMillian is set to compete for a spot on Golden State's regular-season roster in training camp. He appeared in 31 outings with the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors in 2025-26, averaging 16.6 points, 4.9 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 0.8 steals across 29.9 minutes per showing.

Konchar agreed to a one-year deal with the Knicks on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Konchar is set to provide wing depth for the Knicks in 2026-27 after being traded to the Timberwolves and subsequently getting waived in late August. The veteran forward appeared in 56 regular-season outings (eight starts) between Memphis and Utah last season, during which he averaged 4.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.7 blocks in 19.9 minutes per tilt.
