San Antonio Spurs<\/a> star De’Aaron Fox<\/a> has agreed to a four-year, $229 million maximum contract extension with the franchise, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul told ESPN.<\/p>\n

The max deal has no player option in the final year and secures Fox’s future in San Antonio through the 2029-30 season, after a trade deadline deal<\/a> moved the one-time All-Star and one-time All-NBA guard from the Sacramento Kings<\/a> to the Spurs.<\/p>\n

Fox and Paul were able to navigate a trade to his preferred destination of San Antonio in February and then secure this long-term extension months later — in a state with no income tax compared to his prior California residence.<\/p>\n

Fox and Victor Wembanyama<\/a>, who played only five games together last season, have developed a close relationship and are set to lead the Spurs’ core for years to come, with back-to-back Rookie of the Year award winners in Wembanyama and Castle, and the arrival of Harper.<\/p>\n

Fox, who averaged 19.7 points and 6.8 assists in 17 games with the Spurs last season, had season-ending surgery on March 18 to repair tendon damage in his left pinkie. He played through the ailment all season after suffering the tendon damage during training camp in October.<\/p>\n
