The Oklahoma City Thunder have picked up the fifth-year option on Billy Donovan for next season

The 19-20 season is the final year of his original five-year deal.

Thunder executive VP and GM Sam Presti has worked closely with Donovan. A strong playoff performance could lead to extension discussions in the offseason between Donovan and the Thunder.

Donovan was hired by the Thunder before the 15-16 season following the firing of Scott Brooks.
