San Antonio preserves roster flexibility by using rookie-scale deals to backstop a long-term partnership between Fox and Victor Wembanyama.

Overview

  • Fox’s extension runs four years and $228 million and begins in the 2026–27 season after he completes his existing contract.
  • Rookie contracts for Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper create cap room to absorb Fox’s future salary without limiting future moves.
  • The deal underscores the Spurs’ shift into the next phase of their rebuild by cementing Fox as a co-cornerstone alongside Wembanyama.
  • Fox has returned to full health following offseason surgery to repair the extensor tendon in his left pinky finger, which ended his season in late March.
  • After his February acquisition from the Sacramento Kings, Fox averaged 19.7 points and 6.8 assists across 17 games in San Antonio.
