Victor Wembanyama is getting paid — but is helping out his team in a big way. The Spurs superstar has signed a maximum rookie extension for $252 million over five years, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Friday. However, he took the extension at 25 percent of the salary cap instead of 30 percent escalators, which could help San Antonio build around him.
