De’Aaron Fox Signs $229 Million Max Extension With San Antonio Spurs

San Antonio Spurs star De’Aaron Fox has agreed to sign a four-year, $229 million maximum contract extension with the franchise, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported.

In the fall, Fox is entering the final season of a five-year, $163 million contract he originally signed with the Sacramento Kings. With the new extension, the one-time NBA All-Star avoids entering unrestricted free agency next summer, and he’s now on San Antonio’s books through the 2029-30 season. The deal includes no player option in the final season, Charania reported.

The Spurs acquired Fox from the Kings in February in a three-team deal that also included the Chicago Bulls.

In 62 appearances for the Spurs and Kings last season, Fox averaged 23.5 points, 6.3 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. He shot 46.3% from the field and 31% on 3s.

Fox appeared in 17 games for the Spurs before he underwent season-ending surgery on March 18 to repair tendon damage in his left pinkie.
