The San Antonio Spurs signed Tobias Harris to a one-year, $31 million contract on July 1, 2026. This move gives the team a veteran presence but eliminates their opportunity to pursue LeBron James this summer following his departure from the Los Angeles Lakers. San Antonio was previously considered a potential destination for the four-time NBA champion, especially for a pairing with rookie Victor Wembanyama. As the Spurs move forward with Harris, other teams like Denver, Golden State, Cleveland, and Miami are reportedly vying for James.
