What happened: League sources told The Stein Line and DLLS Sports that Naji Marshall will earn $18.2 million in 2027-28, $17.3 million in 2028-29 and $16.7 million in 2029-30. His prior contract expires after the 2026-27 season.
Why it matters: The descending structure trims $1.5 million from the first extension year to the last. That lowers the scheduled salary commitment in each successive season.
By the numbers: The three salaries average $17.4 million annually. The salary falls $900,000 after the first year and another $600,000 in the final year.
What to watch: The extension takes effect in 2027-28 and keeps Marshall under contract through 2029-30.
