The biggest issue facing the San Antonio Spurs this offseason appears to be solved. Star center Victor Wembanyama sent out an encouraging message to fans Friday suggesting he’s going to sign a new extension with the team.
That message, which Wembanyama sent out on X, was short, but included the phrase, “I’m here to stay.”
Spurs family, I’m here to stay.

Wembanyama, 22, entered the offseason in line for a massive contract. A max deal would reportedly net Wembanyama an astounding five-year, $251 million extension.
But Wembanyama might not be interested in taking the most money possible. There are reports Wembanyama might be willing to take less in order to give the Spurs more financial flexibility in the future.
There has been word this morning in Las Vegas that Victor Wembanyama is considering signing less than his maximum rookie scale extension to provide San Antonio greater financial flexibility.
