Victor Wembanyama signs a long-term contract extension with the San Antonio Spurs and tells fans he plans to stay with the franchise. Multiple outlets report the agreement is signed after the NBA season, with one source describing it as coming on Friday and noting that Wembanyama previously showed disappointment following a finals defeat. As part of the announcement, Wembanyama addresses supporters directly, saying “I’m here to stay,” and in one account adding “Whatever it takes.”
The extension is described as a rookie maximum multi-year deal. France 24 reports it as a five-year, $252 million contract extension. The Yahoo Sports reports similarly that the Spurs make a major announcement confirming Wembanyama’s long-term commitment, emphasizing what the decision means for San Antonio’s future. Across the sources, the core points are Wembanyama’s intent to remain in San Antonio for the long term, the Spurs’ confirmation of the extension, and the reported size and duration of the contract.
