Former Celtics Center Luke Kornet Signs Four-Year, $41 Million Deal with San Antonio Spurs
- On June 30, 2025, 7-foot-2 center Luke Kornet signed a four-year contract worth $41 million with the San Antonio Spurs.
- Kornet's decision came shortly after the NBA's restricted free agency phase began on Monday, a time when teams are permitted to discuss deals but cannot finalize contracts until July 6.
- Kornet spent five seasons with the Boston Celtics, contributing as a backup big man during their 2023-24 championship and averaging 6.0 points and one block per game in 2024-25.
- The deal pays Kornet $10.25 million annually, roughly 75% of Victor Wembanyama's rookie salary, and he will support the Spurs' frontcourt behind Wembanyama, who is their key 7-foot-3 player.
- Kornet's signing provides San Antonio a significant frontcourt presence as they regroup after missing the playoffs for six straight seasons, while Boston adjusts after losing key players including Kornet.
