De’Aaron Fox Secures His Future with the Spurs with a Million-Dollar Contract
The San Antonio Spurs’ star point guard, De’Aaron Fox, has reached an agreement for a four-year, $229 million contract extension with the franchise. This maximum agreement does not include a player option in the final year, ensuring Fox’s permanence in San Antonio until the 2029-30 season. Fox was acquired by the Spurs after a trade from the Sacramento Kings. In February, Fox and his team managed to finalize their arrival in San Antonio, their preferred destination, and have now secured this long-term extension.The Spurs selected Dylan Harper with the second pick in the June NBA draft, solidifying a talented and young backcourt with Fox, Harper, and Stephon Castle. Fox and Victor Wembanyama, who only played five games together last season, have developed a close relationship and are ready to lead the Spurs’ core in the coming years. Fox, who averaged 19.7 points and 6.8 assists in 17 games with the Spurs last season, underwent surgery on March 18 to repair an injury to the tendon in his left pinky finger. In 62 combined games with the Spurs and Kings, Fox averaged 23.5 points, 6.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds. On November 15, Fox scored 60 points against the Minnesota Timberwolves, setting a franchise record for the Kings. Fox is one of only two players to average 20 points, 5 assists, and 1 steal in each of the last six seasons, along with Luka Doncic. In addition, he is one of four players with 10,000 points, 3,000 assists and 700 steals since entering the NBA in the 2017-18 season, along with James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Nikola Jokic.Being in an organization like this… you feel it. You feel it in the atmosphere. You feel it in the fans. And then you go to the training facilities or the stadium and you see those banners hanging… you can’t do anything but try to build on that.
