Former Arkansas Razorback Isaiah Joe has agreed to a 4-year, $48 million contract to stay with the OKC Thunder.
LITTLE ROCK — Former Arkansas star guard and NBA veteran Isaiah Joe has agreed to a 4-year, $48 million restricted-free-agent contract to return to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a third season, after helping the team achieve the best record in the NBA’s Western Conference last season as their top reserve, a source told Hogville on Monday.
Joe, a 6-foot-4 guard from Fort Smith, has accumulated roughly $6.3 million in career NBA earnings.
At 24 years old, Joe has just completed his fourth NBA season—his first two with the Philadelphia 76ers, who drafted him in 2020, followed by two successful seasons with the Thunder. He had one more season left on his original three-year free-agent deal with Oklahoma City, which would have paid him $2.16 million in 2024-25. However, the organization chose not to pick up the team option by the contract deadline on June 29, making Joe a restricted free agent, allowing OKC to match any offer to keep their sixth man.
