San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox is recovering well from surgery on his left pinkie finger. That has Fox excited to be gearing up for his first full season in San Antonio. The veteran point guard hopes that first full season comes with a contract extension with the Spurs.
"I would definitely hope so," Fox said when asked his optimism about signing an extension this summer.
Fox is eligible to sign a four-year, $228.6 million extension with San Antonio this offseason. He's limited to four years, because the Spurs acquired him via trade after his rookie scale contract ended. That max extension for Fox would kick in at $51 million with the 2026-27 season.
As for his recovery from late-season surgery on the little finger on his shooting hand, Fox said he's back to full-go.
"I’m doing well. The surgery went fine," Fox said. "I’ve been cleared so I played a little five-on-five and I’ve done contact stuff, so I’ll be ready for next year."
