Free agent center Isaiah Hartenstein officially signed a multi-year contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday.

The Thunder did not release contract details, but according to multiple reports earlier this week, the deal is for three seasons and $87 million.

A journeyman to start his NBA career, the 26-year-old Hartenstein joins his sixth team since entering the league as a second-round pick of the Houston Rockets in 2017.

He was a reserve for the Knicks last season before Mitchell Robinson was lost to an ankle injury. Hartenstein started 49 of his 75 games and averaged 7.8 points and 8.3 rebounds last season.

In 322 games (61) starts over six seasons with the Rockets, Denver Nuggets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Clippers and Knicks, Hartenstein has averaged 6.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists.
