Wembanyama Stays Put on $252M Deal | San Antonio Spurs News

Victor Wembanyama just locked in a five-year, $252 million max contract with the Spurs, keeping him in San Antonio through 2031 — and yes, he actually took a pay cut to do it. Instead of a supermax deal that would’ve netted him $303 million, Wembanyama opted for this landmark agreement, which includes a player option in the final year. The move comes after another MVP-caliber season: averaging 25 points and 11.5 rebounds, earning his first All-NBA First Team and second All-Star selection. While his average annual value ranks 24th in the league — even below teammate De’Aaron Fox — his total contract value places him eighth overall, joining elite company with stars like Tatum, Jokic, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. This deal isn’t just about money — it’s a statement of loyalty, vision, and the future of the NBA. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
