De’Aaron Fox Signs Massive Extension with Spurs, Eyes Championship Future
So, some huge NBA news just dropped — De’Aaron Fox is officially staying in San Antonio, and not just for a season or two. He’s agreed to a four-year, $229 million max contract extension with the Spurs, locking him in through the 2029-30 season. That’s a serious commitment from both sides and signals just how much confidence San Antonio has in building a title-contending core around Fox and Victor Wembanyama.
Now, Fox didn’t exactly stumble into this deal. His journey has been dramatic, to say the least. After spending over seven years with the Sacramento Kings, he made it very clear — he only wanted to go to San Antonio. Not one of many options. Just San Antonio. And when he was traded there back in February, it felt inevitable that a long-term deal would follow. He even told ESPN bluntly, “There was no f***ing list. I wanted to go to San Antonio.” So yeah, there was zero doubt about where he wanted to be.

Even though he only played 17 games with the Spurs due to a pinky injury that needed surgery, the front office clearly saw enough. They see Fox as the perfect on-ball partner for Wembanyama — someone who can drive, create, and take pressure off their 7-foot-3 unicorn. And honestly, that’s not a wild bet. Over the last six seasons, Fox has averaged over 24 points and 6 assists per game, sharing statistical territory with names like Jokic, Giannis, Luka, and LeBron. That’s elite company.
But getting here wasn’t smooth. Things fell apart in Sacramento after yet another disappointing season. When the Kings fired coach Mike Brown without even a press conference, fingers pointed at Fox. He denied any involvement but admitted it was the final straw. He’d had enough — five coaches in under eight years and not much to show for it.
What’s wild is that San Antonio’s vision came together almost accidentally. Fox arrived before the Spurs even won the No. 2 pick in the 2025 draft, which they used on Dylan Harper. So now they’ve got Harper, Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle, and Fox — three talented guards, none of them known for their three-point shooting. It’s a fascinating backcourt mix that could go either way, but with Fox leading the charge, there’s veteran poise guiding the younger talent.
And here’s the kicker — the Fox-Wembanyama combo has barely been seen yet. Injuries kept them to just five games together. But the Spurs clearly believe that once they’re both healthy, the sky's the limit. With Fox under contract, Wemby due for his own extension soon, and a roster packed with young upside, San Antonio looks ready to take a real step forward. Maybe even a leap.
