SAN ANTONIO — According to a report from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the San Antonio Spurs and forward Devin Vassell have agreed to a 5-year contract extension at $146 million.
The extension is a rookie-scale contract extension as part of the 2020 NBA draft class according to the report.
Spurs Media Day 2023 was Monday morning, and Vassell was asked about the negotiations that were still in progress.
"I want to be a Spur for a long time," he said to the media, smiling. "That's all I can say."
Vassell is seen as an important piece to the Spurs' ongoing rebuild.
He's a solid two-way player and is on the cusp of making a tremendous leap in his NBA career.
"Truthfully, all this summer I just worked on just getting stronger and not just my legs," he said about his offseason focus. "I'm not trying to sit out more games."
He and Gregg Popovich both mentioned that he bulked up significantly over the summer. Before he got sidelined in January with a knee injury that limited him to just 38 games, he averaged 18.5 points per game along with 3.9 rebounds, 44% field-goal shooting, and 3.6 assists.
