Spurs Secure De'Aaron Fox with $229M Extension Through 2030

De'Aaron Fox has signed a four-year, $229 million maximum contract extension with the San Antonio Spurs, securing his position with the team through the 2029-2030 season. Fox was acquired from the Sacramento Kings at the 2024-25 NBA trade deadline to complement franchise centerpiece Victor Wembanyama and averaged 19.7 points in 17 games before undergoing season-ending finger surgery. The Spurs view Fox as a long-term leader who will develop alongside young guards Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper, creating a talented backcourt core for the future. Fox's new contract raises his average annual salary to $57.25 million, ranking third in the league, reflecting the team's commitment to him despite the potential positional logjam. While the Spurs will need to manage their guard rotation carefully, Fox's presence significantly boosts their Western Conference competitiveness. Fox and his representatives insisted on the full max contract, which includes no player option or trade kicker, emphasizing his desire for a secured star role in San Antonio.
