Overview

  • The four-year, $228 million extension ranks Fox among the NBA’s highest-paid guards and locks him in through the 2029–30 campaign.
  • Fox averaged 19.7 points and 6.8 assists over 17 games before a March surgery on his left pinky forced him to miss the remainder of last season.
  • The new deal begins in the 2026–27 season after his current contract expires, covering the prime of his career from age 27 to 30.
  • San Antonio acquired Fox at February’s trade deadline to complement its rebuild around Victor Wembanyama and stabilize the point guard position.
  • Supported by cost-effective rookie contracts and cap flexibility, the Spurs are transitioning into a phase aimed at ending their playoff drought.
