San Antonio Spurs star Dillon Fox has agreed to sign a four-year contract extension agreement with the team

Klutch Sports CEO Ricky Paul told ESPN that San Antonio Spurs star Dillon Fox has agreed to sign a four-year, $229 million maximum contract extension agreement with the team. The deal has no player option in the final year and secures Fox's future in San Antonio until the 2029-30 season, after the former All-Star and All-NBA defender transferred from the Sacramento Kings to the Spurs in a trade deadline trade.

Fox and Paul successfully brought the deal to his preferred San Antonio in February, ensuring a long-term extension a few months later - in a state with no income tax compared to his previous California residence.

In the NBA Draft in June, the Spurs selected defender Dylan Harper with the second pick and now has a young and talented backcourt lineup composed of Fox, Harper and Stephen Castle.

Fox and Victor Vinbanya have played only five games together last season, and they have built a close relationship and will lead the core of the team in the coming years, with Vinbanyama and Kassel winning Rookie of the Year awards in a row, and Harper will join. However, this operation of the Spurs may make their salary explode in the next few years, including the maximum salary of the literary class, the maximum salary of Castle, and the maximum salary of Harper! It will even exceed the 820 million contract of the Thunder's third youngest! Fox, who played for the Spurs last season, averaged 19.7 points and 6.8 assists in 17 games. He underwent season-ending surgery on March 18 to repair a left pinky tendon injury. He endured the ache all season after a tendon injury in training camp in October.

In 62 games with the Kings and the Spurs, Fox averaged 23.5 points, 6.3 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game. He scored 60 points against the Minnesota Timberwolves on November 15, setting the Kings' record in the game. Nikola Jokic was the only NBA player to average 60 points last season.

Fox is one of two players who averaged 20 points, 5 assists and 1 steal in the past six seasons, and Luca Doncic, one of four players who have scored 10,000 points, 3 assists and 700 steals along with James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Jokic since entering the NBA in 2017-18.
