Within the Veteran Extension group, there are three subsets based on deadlines and options. As of this writing, only Victor Wembanyama has reached an agreement on an extension out of the original group of 23 eligible players. Overall, it has become increasingly rare for teams to extend players with multiple seasons left on their contracts. If the player or team option for the 2027-28 season for this group is declined, then they are eligible to extend through June 30. That situation usually means that the team can get the player to ink a more team-friendly extension, because the player is getting paid a year earlier than necessary.
