Overview

  • The four-year extension starts in the 2026-27 season, runs through 2029-30 and carries no player option in its final year.
  • San Antonio confirmed the deal on August 4 after ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported the agreement.
  • Fox became eligible for a veteran extension six months after his February trade and signed despite a season-ending pinkie surgery in March.
  • The Spurs view the eight-year veteran as a backcourt anchor alongside Victor Wembanyama and to bolster emerging guards Stephon Castle and rookie Dylan Harper.
  • Locking in Fox shapes the team’s salary-cap outlook ahead of Wembanyama’s upcoming rookie scale extension and future roster investments.
