The Spurs acquired Fox from the Sacramento Kings in a three-team deal just before the trade deadline. San Antonio sought to pair him with franchise player Victor Wembanyama, but the duo only played five games together before Wemby suffered a season-ending blood clot in his shoulder.

The Spurs and guard De'Aaron Fox have reached an agreement on a max deal that will keep him with the team through 2029-30.

The San Antonio Spurs have given De'Aaron Fox a full max extension, totaling four years and $229 million, underlining their belief that the point guard will be able to return to All-NBA form while functioning as the secondary star next to Victor Wembanyama.
