What happened: Thompson specified a ChopShop order with a fruit cup to stay on a healthy diet. The answer came when asked what he bought first on the new deal.

Why it matters: The Houston deal pairs with twin Ausar Thompson's $155M Detroit extension for $363M combined, making them the first brothers with $100M deals. Houston carries that core into 2026-27 after a 52-30 finish and a seven-game first-round exit.

What to watch: Houston opens camp for 2026-27 with Thompson locked in long term.
