The NBA trade deadline has passed and while the playoffs will be here before we know it, the future’s of some notable players in this league could be in question heading into the offseason, especially if they do not receive a contract extension.
Most teams look to hammer out the details of contract extensions with players prior to the start of the season, but many players do agree to terms on new deals with their current teams during the season.
Recently, the Mavericks agreed to terms on a new four-year, $52 million extension with forward Dorian Finney-Smith, keeping him under contract in Dallas through at least the 2024-25 season, as he has a player option in the final year of his new contract.
The Minnesota Timberwolves also agreed on a contract extension recently with veteran guard Patrick Beverley, adding one more year to his contract worth $13 million for the 2022-23 season. Beverley was set to become an unrestricted free agent following this season.

Nonetheless, there are still some notable names worth talking about and keeping an eye on in regards to possible contract extensions before the end of the season.
