De'Aaron Fox 'in No Rush' to Sign Contract, 'Would Love' to Be with Kings amid Rumors
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox explained Friday why he is taking it slow when it comes to signing a contract extension.
bleacherreport.comI don’t currently have live access to the latest sources in this chat, but here’s the most recent context I can share and how to verify it quickly.
Direct answer
- As of early August 2025, reports indicated De'Aaron Fox agreed to a four-year max contract extension with the San Antonio Spurs, worth up to about $229 million, with the deal taking effect in the 2025-26 season. This followed Fox’s trade to the Spurs earlier in the 2024-25 season. [Sources noted in 2025 coverage]
Key context and likely implications
- The extension marked Fox’s long-term commitment to the Spurs after the trade, aligning with the team’s timeline around star Victor Wembanyama and a playoff-contending window. This is consistent with wide reports that Fox pursued a max-eligible extension when the clubs’ extension window opened. [Context from 2025 coverage]
- Financial considerations around such max deals depend on the league’s cap projections; reports at the time estimated annual salaries in the high-$50s to low-$60s millions, with total values near $229 million across four years. [Context from 2025 coverage]
What to verify (quick, reliable checks)
- ESPN/Bleacher Report/HoopsHype: confirm the exact contract value, structure (yearly starts, raises, any player options), and whether there were any max-allowances or trade kickers.
- Spurs press release or team site: official confirmation of the contract extension and its terms.
- Shams Charania/Andrew Pasquini/Other insiders: corroboration of the deal timeline (when it became official, any waiting periods after the trade).
