The San Antonio Spurs signed point guard De'Aaron Fox to a maximum contract extension for four years and $229 million, ESPN reported Monday.
The Spurs acquired Fox from the Sacramento Kings in February, and he was slated to become an unrestricted free agent after this coming season. Instead, the team chose to lock up his contract through 2029-30.
Fox, 27, averaged 19.7 points and 6.8 assists per game in 17 appearances (all starts) for San Antonio. His season was cut short in March, when he had season-ending surgery to repair a tendon in his left pinkie finger.
In eight NBA seasons between the Kings and Spurs, Fox has averaged 21.5 points, 6.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals over 531 games (517 starts). He was the fifth overall draft pick by Sacramento in 2017 and won NBA Clutch Player of the Year for the 2022-23 campaign.
The Spurs will have a crowded backcourt in 2025-26 with Fox and a pair of former top-five draft picks: Stephon Castle, the reigning Rookie of the Year, and 2025 second overall selection Dylan Harper.
