The San Antonio Spurs made a major financial commitment this week in re-signing De’Aaron Fox, and while the move solidifies their short-term outlook, it also creates difficult decisions down the road. One of those could very well involve Devin Vassell.
With Fox now locked in and Jeremy Sochan soon eligible for his rookie extension, the Spurs may not be able to keep all of their core pieces intact. That makes Vassell’s long-term future with the franchise far less certain than it once seemed.
Vassell signed a five-year, $146 million deal in 2023 and was expected to grow into a foundational piece alongside Victor Wembanyama.
