Victor Wembanyama Considering Discount Extension With Spurs

Victor Wembanyama is considering signing for less than his potential maximum rookie scale contract extension value with the San Antonio Spurs, reports Jake Fischer.

Wembanyama could sign for less to give the Spurs additional flexibility to stay below the second apron while maintaining upcoming extensions for Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper. Spurs family, I'm here to stay. Whatever it takes wrote Wembanyama on Twitter on Friday.
