Victor Wembanyama‘s new contract with the San Antonio Spurs has led to debate despite securing the franchise cornerstone for years to come. The 22-year-old signed a five-year, $252 million rookie maximum extension with a player option, keeping him under contract…

From Finals phenom to potential $300M centerpiece, Wembanyama's expected extension could shape San Antonio's title window and the NBA's next-face debate.

Spurs star Victor Wembanyama has agreed to a five-year, $252 million maximum rookie-scale contract extension, sources told ESPN.

Victor Wembanyama's new deal with the Spurs will pay him more than $50 million per year, but he passed on an even more lucrative supermax deal.

Wemby is taking the 25% of the cap max, but he very likely will be eligible for 30% max and he's not taking it.

Victor Wembanyama has signed what will be the richest contract in San Antonio Spurs history, a five-year extension that could exceed $250 million if the player option in the final season is picked up, a person with knowledge of the negotiations said Friday. The Spurs, who went to the NBA Finals this past season behind the All-NBA center and unanimous Defensive Player of the Year, announced that Wembanyama had signed, simply saying the sides agreed on “a multi-year contract extension.” The agreement comes at a discount; Wembanyama could have agreed to a deal that topped $300 million — but chose a lesser amount to help give the Spurs flexibility going forward with their young core and in anticipation of the contracts some of those budding stars will be eligible for in coming years, the person said.
