Victor Wembanyama contract details: How salary of Spurs rookie compares to NBA’s highest-paid centers
When the Spurs selected Tim Duncan with the No. 1 overall pick in the 1997 NBA Draft, he signed a three-year, $10.2 million contract. Fast forward almost 30 years, Victor Wembanyama inked a four-year contract that will pay him over $50 million after being selected by the Spurs with the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
Wembanyama’s deal still pales in comparison to the likes of Nikola Jokic, LeBron James and Jayson Tatum, but he’ll be one of the higher-paid players at his position immediately.
