- Fox reported left ankle soreness after a second‑half loose‑ball play with Ayo Dosunmu in Game 4, then returned to finish with 24 points on 8-for-23 shooting.
- Through four games of the series, he has averaged 16.8 points, 4.0 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals as San Antonio’s key paint creator when Wembanyama draws help.
- If he cannot go, Dylan Harper and Keldon Johnson are expected to take on larger roles, with Harper coming off a 24-point outing on 72.7% shooting.
