"Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara has agreed to a four-year, $82 million contract extension with the franchise, agent Dave Putterie told ESPN on Sunday. Camara, an NBA All-Defensive second team selection last season, has blossomed into a vital and durable two-way player after being picked No. 52 by the Phoenix Suns in the 2023 NBA draft. The Trail Blazers acquired him from the Suns in the three-team trade that involved Damian Lillard going to the Milwaukee Bucks"
"With the extension, the Blazers now lock in Camara through the 2029-30 season following a campaign in which the 6-foot-7 forward ranked ninth in total steals among NBA players and became one of seven players with 100 steals and 50 blocks in a season. He was the first Trail Blazers player to make an All-Defensive team since the 2003-04 season, when Theo Ratliff, who was acquired via trade from the Atlanta Hawks that season, also was a second-team selection."

Camara ranked ninth in total steals among NBA players and joined six players with at least 100 steals and 50 blocks. He is the first Blazers All-Defensive selection since Theo Ratliff in 2003-04.
