NBA player De'Aaron Fox signs a four-year maximum contract extension with the San Antonio Spurs, which could be worth as much as $229 million.
In a significant move for the San Antonio Spurs, star guard De'Aaron Fox has agreed to a four-year, $229 million max extension, securing his presence with the team through 2030 [1][4][5]. Fox, who was previously with the Sacramento Kings, was traded to the Spurs earlier in 2025 and expressed a clear desire to stay with the team long-term [1].
Last season, Fox played in 62 games, averaging 23.5 points, 6.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds. He also made a notable impact in 17 games with the Spurs post-trade deadline, averaging 19.7 points per game [2].
The Spurs, who have not made the playoffs in the last six seasons, are now bolstered by Fox's addition. They also recently drafted point guard Dylan Harper with the No. 2 overall pick in the May draft, adding another promising young guard to their roster [6].
Joining Fox in San Antonio is Victor Wembanyama, a superstar big man, and Stephon Castle, the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year [7]. This dynamic combination offers the Spurs a capable running mate for Wembanyama and a potential future star in Harper.
Fox was eligible for a contract extension with the Sacramento Kings last summer but chose to sign with the Spurs instead, citing his desire to commit fully to the Spurs and their vision for the future [3]. The Kings, in turn, drafted Tyrese Haliburton with the No. 12 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.
With Fox now a permanent fixture in San Antonio, there is strong reason to believe the Spurs could make the jump into playoff contention this season. The team has improved their draft position, moving up in the May lottery, and Fox's leadership could be instrumental in their rebuilding process.
