Ajay Mitchell and the Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to a three-year, $9 million contract, per Shams Charania.

Mitchell, the 38th pick in the 2024 Draft, moved from a Two-Way to a standard NBA contract in February, finishing with 6.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 36 games.

OKC declined his 2025-26 team option to secure him long-term, showing trust in the young guard’s development.
