Renewal soon! Fox locks in the Spurs future

According to Michael Scotto, a well-known NBA reporter, the Spurs and defender Daron Fox are expected to reach a heavyweight long-term early contract renewal this summer, with the contract amount likely to be as high as an astonishing four-year $229 million. This potential super-max contract renewal marks Fox officially becoming the absolute core of the Spurs' reconstruction plan. The

renewal window is about to open. The final year of Fox's current contract (2025-26 season) salary is $37.1 million, the end of his five-year, $163 million maximum salary contract signed with the Sacramento Kings. According to league regulations, starting from August 4 this year, Fox will be eligible to officially sign this valuable early contract renewal with the Spurs.

The short-term Spurs career shows value

Fox switched from the Kings to the San Antonio Spurs through a three-party trade in the middle of the season. Although he has not been wearing a silver and black robe for a long time, he quickly showed his star value in limited games. In 17 games played for the Spurs, Fox averaged 34 minutes per game, handing over comprehensive data of 19.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.5 steals. His organizational ability and offensive threats have become an important support for the Spurs' backcourt. The season ended early

Unfortunately, Fox underwent repair surgery on the pinky finger tendon in March, which ended his 2023-24 season early. Although this injury interrupted his season, it did not affect the Spurs management's recognition of its long-term value and determination to renew its contract.

The new cornerstone of the Silver and Black Legion

If this four-year, 229 million maximum salary renewal is reached as scheduled, it means that the Spurs will entrust the position of core guards to Fox for many years in the future. His speed, scoring explosiveness, and his increasingly mature passing vision will form a potential internal and external combination with Vampan Yama's talent, laying a solid foundation for San Antonio's return to the playoffs and even for higher honors.

Spurs fans have reason to look forward to a new era with Fox and Vinban Yama as the core, which will kick off in Alamo City.
