Victor Wembanyama Signs $252M Extension, Opts for Less Than Max Salary

Victor Wembanyama has officially signed a five-year, $252 million rookie-scale extension with the San Antonio Spurs. By opting for a 25% cap max instead of his eligible 30%, Wembanyama leaves roughly $50 million on the table to bolster the team's financial flexibility. The star center emphasized his commitment to the franchise and championship goals. His market value remains immense, highlighted by a rare trading card recently selling for $1.44 million.
