NBA: Spurs' Jeremy Sochan injures calf training with national team
In an announcement by the Polish Basketball Federation, Sochan confirmed that he would miss EuroBasket but added that "doctors predict that I will be fully healthy" in time for the start of Spurs training camp.
The 22-year-old expects to return to San Antonio to continue his recovery.
"In the face of injury, Jeremy received professional help in Poland," Spurs general manager Brian Wright said in the statement. "Cooperation with the staff and management of KoszKadry has always been exemplary. In this situation, however, the best option is to return to San Antonio."
The ninth overall pick out of Baylor in 2022, Sochan has been a steady presence in the Spurs' rotation. He has averaged 11.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists in his first three seasons while shooting 46.8 percent from the field. — Field Level Media/Reuters

NBA: Spurs' De'Aaron Fox signs 4-year, $229M extension —report
The San Antonio Spurs signed point guard De'Aaron Fox to a maximum contract extension for four years and $229 million, ESPN reported Monday. The Spurs acquired Fox from the Sacramento Kings in February, and he was slated to become an unrestricted free agent after this coming season. Instead, the team chose to lock up his contract through 2029-30. Fox, 27, averaged 19.7 points and 6.8 assists per game in 17 appearances (all starts) for San Antonio. His season was cut short in March, when he had season-ending surgery to repair a tendon in his left pinkie finger. In eight NBA seasons between the Kings and Spurs, Fox has averaged 21.5 points, 6.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals over 531 games (517 starts). He was the fifth overall draft pick by Sacramento in 2017 and won NBA Clutch Player of the Year for the 2022-23 campaign. The Spurs will have a crowded backcourt in 2025-26 with Fox and a pair of former top-five draft picks: Stephon Castle, the reigning Rookie of the Year, and 2025 second overall selection Dylan Harper. —Field Level Media/Reuters
