The deal that will keep guard Manu Ginobili with the Spurs for three more seasons has been completed, and the team plans to announce the contract extension on Friday.
Negotiations on final details were hammered out late Thursday afternoon and Ginobili was expected to sign the new contract, the details of which were approved by the NBA office on Thursday.
The extension will pay Ginobili $38.9 million through the 2012-13 season.
Talks between the Spurs and Ginobili’s representatives heated up in the wake of the 32-year-old guard’s MVP-like play over the past month, during which he has averaged 24.1 points per game as the Spurs have played their best basketball of the season.
Had the Spurs not been able to negotiate an extension before July 1, Ginobili, the team’s leading scorer since the All-Star break and arguably its most popular player, would have become an unrestricted free agent.
