Victor Wembanyama has signed a five-year, $252 million extension with the San Antonio Spurs, a source told Dallas Hoops Journal.
The deal includes a player option in the fifth season.
Wembanyama led the Spurs to the NBA Finals this year. Even though San Antonio lost to the New York Knicks in five games, the Spurs have an incredibly bright future with Wembanyama as the anchor.
ESPN reported that “Wembanyama decided on the 25% maximum instead of the 30% supermax escalators to $303 million after he and the Spurs went through multiple frameworks, sources said. San Antonio worked in close partnership with Wembanyama and his representatives, offering the full super max and different variations of extensions, according to sources. But Wembanyama ultimately chose a contract sacrifice rooted in giving him and the organization increased ability to build a sustained title contender around him.”
Wembanyama appeared in 64 games for the Spurs last season. He averaged 25.0 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game. The two-time All-Star led the NBA in total blocks and blocks per game for the third consecutive year and won the Defensive Player of the Year Award.
In the 2026 playoffs against the Portland Trail Blazers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Oklahoma City Thunder and Knicks, Wembanyama put up 23.8 points, 10.9 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game. The 22-year-old is projected to be a dominant force in the NBA for the next decade or so.
Wembanyama has career averages of 23.4 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game. He was the first overall pick in the 2023 draft.
