De'Aaron Fox Hopes to Sign Spurs Contract Extension During 2025 NBA Offseason

After spending the second half of the 2024-25 season with the San Antonio Spurs, De'Aaron Fox is hoping to stick around long-term.

Per ESPN's Michael C. Wright, Fox said he hopes to sign a contract extension with the Spurs this offseason following his trade to San Antonio from the Sacramento Kings in February.

Fox is currently in the fourth year of a five-year, $163 million contract he signed with the Kings, so he'll still be contractually tied to the Spurs for another season even if he doesn't get an extension this offseason.

Before the 2024-25 season, Fox declined a three-year, $165 million maximum extension in hopes of getting a bigger deal in the offseason. Now, the decision to bypass that extension could pay off.

In February, ESPN's Brian Windhorst said he "expects" Fox to sign a "big" extension with San Antonio this offseason, adding that "it was pretty much understood that was the way it was going to go."

According to ESPN's Bobby Marks, Fox is eligible for a four-year, $229 million extension this offseason, a significant raise from what his extension would have been had he signed last offseason.

Securing Fox's future would be huge for San Antonio. The Spurs were seemingly already on their way to a bright future thanks to Victor Wembanyama, but the addition of a star point guard like Fox raises the ceiling for what is possible for San Antonio over the next few years.

Fox, still only 27 years old, put up 23.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game before suffering a season-ending finger injury in March. Wembanyama averaged 24.3 points, 11 rebounds and 3.8 blocks per game before his season ended in February because of deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.

With the Spurs' season coming to an end on Sunday, the focus now shifts to the offseason, where Fox will look to work out an extension with San Antonio and attack the 2025-26 season strong.
