Rotowire
Hartenstein intends to sign a three-year, $75 million contract with the Thunder, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Friday.
Hartenstein will return to the Thunder after spending the last two years in Oklahoma City. The big man was a key piece in the team's championship run in 2025, and he figures to continue operating in a starting role next season. Over 47 regular-season appearances (46 starts) in 2025-26, he averaged 9.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.8 combined steals-plus-blocks in 24.2 minutes per contest.

Rotowire
Hartenstein contributed seven points (3-7 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 21 minutes during Saturday's 111-103 loss to the Spurs in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.
Hartenstein saw his playing time fluctuate over the course of the Western Conference Finals, and he saw less minutes in Game 7 than backup center Jaylin Williams (26). Hartenstein also finished Saturday's elimination game with a minus-14 point differential, which was worst on Oklahoma City. He has a $28.5 million team option for the 2026-27 season, and the two sides could work on an extension over the offseason. He finished the 2025-26 postseason averaging 9.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks over 23.4 minutes per contest, with three double-doubles across 15 playoff games.

Rotowire
Hartenstein recorded 12 points (6-11 FG), seven rebounds and three assists over 18 minutes during Sunday's 103-82 loss to San Antonio in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.
Hartenstein picked up a few quick fouls, and the Thunder opted to use some smaller lineups, with this game getting out of hand quickly. Hartenstein has been solid in the playoffs overall, posting averages of 9.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals in 23.6 minutes per contest.
Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Non-factor in Game 1 loss
Rotowire
Hartenstein recorded two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 12 minutes during Monday's 122-115 double-overtime loss to San Antonio in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.
Hartenstein struggled to make a tangible impact, other than compiling three combined steals and blocks. He closed by logging just 12 minutes, the fewest he has played throughout the postseason. Although he should be better than this on most nights, the simple fact is that Victor Wembanyama got the better of him on this occasion. In nine playoff appearances, Hartenstein has averaged 9.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.2 combined steals and blocks in 24.1 minutes per contest.
