NBA star Victor Wembanyama has signed a long-term deal with the San Antonio Spurs, agreeing what will be the richest contract in the franchise's history.
The agreement is a five-year extension that could exceed $250 million if the player option in the final year is exercised, according to reporting confirmed by the Associated Press. Widely regarded as the league's brightest young talent, the French centre-forward helped France to Olympic silver at Paris 2024.
The extension locks Wembanyama to San Antonio through the remainder of the decade and signals the franchise's commitment to building its next contender around the 2023 No. 1 draft pick.
