De'Aaron Fox Cleared for Spurs Debut Tonight vs. Pelicans

His return supplies the lead guard presence the Spurs have lacked with Dylan Harper sidelined.

Overview

  • The Spurs confirmed Fox will be available after a week of ramp-up from a right hamstring strain that cost him the preseason and the first eight games.
  • He is expected to start, adding immediate ball-handling and scoring to a lineup that has leaned on Stephon Castle.
  • Fox and Victor Wembanyama logged only about 120 minutes across five games last season, leaving their on-court chemistry largely untested.
  • The timing helps offset the loss of No. 2 pick Dylan Harper, who is out for multiple weeks with a calf strain.
  • San Antonio enters the home game on the second night of a back-to-back at Frost Bank Center at 6-2 after a 5-0 start and two recent losses.
