Another mammoth payday for a former Cat.
The San Antonio Spurs have an extremely bright future ahead thanks to having rising superstar Victor Wembanyama.
They also have former Kentucky Wildcats standout and All-Star point guard De’Aaron Fox, who was acquired in a midseason trade back in February.
Now, the Spurs have ensured Fox and Wemby will be a formidable duo for the foreseeable future.
According to Shams Charania, Fox and the Spurs have agreed to a four-year extension worth $229 million. It puts him under contract through the 2029-30 season.
The 27-year-old Fox averaged 19.7 points and 6.8 assists per game in 17 contests with the Spurs last season after being traded from the Sacramento Kings. Back in December while still a member of the Kings, Fox scored a career-best 60 points in an overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Unfortunately, Fox had season-ending surgery on March 18 to repair tendon damage in his left pinkie but is expected to be ready for next season.
Here’s to hoping we see plenty of Fox and Wemby together next season after they had just five games together last season.
