San Antonio Spurs sign guard Devin Vassell to a five-year, $146 million extension

The San Antonio Spurs have re-signed guard Devin Vassell to a five-year, $146 million extension, per sources. About $135 million is fully guaranteed, and his deal includes $11 million in bonuses.

Vassell, 23, was selected 11th overall by the Spurs in the 2020 NBA Draft out of Florida State. During his rookie 2020-21 season, the 6-foot-5 guard averaged 5.5 points and 2.8 rebounds per game in 62 appearances.

Referring to a few NBA betting sites, the San Antonio Spurs hold 19th-ranked odds to win next season’s 2024 championship. Sportsbooks are showing better odds for the New Orleans Pelicans, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Minnesota Timberwolves.


In the 2021-22 season, Devin Vassell made 32 starts in 71 games. The Georgia native averaged 12.3 points, a career-high 4.3 boards, 1.9 assists, and 1.1 steals per contest. Plus, he shot 42.7% from the field and 36.1% from downtown.

On Feb. 26, 2022, in the Spurs’ 133-129 loss against the Miami Heat, the guard scored a then-career-high 22 points in 28 minutes of action. He finished 8-of-17 (47.1%) shooting from the floor and 3-of-6 (50%) from 3-point range.

Ahead of the 2022-23 season, the Spurs exercised Vassell’s $5.88 million team option. This is part of the four-year, $18.59 million contract he signed with the club in November 2020.

Last season, Vassell made 32 starts in 38 appearances. He was limited to only 38 games because of a left knee injury. On Jan. 11, 2023, the guard underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his knee.


The Florida State product averaged career highs of 18.5 points, 3.6 assists, and 31 minutes per game, along with 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 steals. Not to mention, he shot career bests of 43.9% from the field and 38.7% beyond the arc.

Furthermore, the guard posted a career-high 29 points last season against the Los Angeles Clippers (Nov. 4, 2022), Sacramento Kings (Nov. 17), and Atlanta Hawks (Mar. 19).
