The Portland Trail Blazers signed general manager Joe Cronin to a multi-year contract extension, the franchise announced Monday.

The Blazers have won 14 more games this season than last and still have three regular-season contests left in 2024-25. The club sits 12th in the Western Conference with a 35-44 record but is 22-16 since Jan. 19.

"Joe has demonstrated leadership and vision during his time as general manager, and I'm excited to see him continue building the foundation for a long-term, winning team," Blazers chairperson Jody Allen said in a statement. "We are all thrilled with the team's forward momentum and excited for the future of Trail Blazers basketball."

Portland has also built a steady rotation this campaign, with seven players averaging more than 10 points per game.

The Blazers initially promoted Cronin to interim general manager in 2021 before signing him to a four-year deal to become the full-time GM in 2022. Cronin started as an intern and worked his way up through the organization.
