Spurs lock in Victor Wembanyama on extension

Brian Windhorst said on The Hoop Collective that Victor Wembanyama is the only player from the 2023 draft to have signed a rookie-scale extension, and that talks elsewhere have gone nowhere.

Marc Stein of The Stein Line lists Brandon Miller, Anthony Black, Cason Wallace and Brandin Podziemski as the 2023 draft class members most likely to land rookie-scale extensions before the October 19 deadline.

Bill Simmons floated a trade sending De'Aaron Fox from San Antonio to the Clippers for Darius Garland plus draft assets, on his podcast. Simmons argued Fox's rough 2026 Finals and long, expensive contract make him a risk while Garland offers a shorter bridge to Dylan Harper taking over at point guard.
