Overview
- The Spurs confirmed Fox will be available for his 2025-26 debut at home against New Orleans after ramping up from a right hamstring strain.
- Fox sustained the hamstring injury during offseason workouts, missing the preseason and the first eight regular-season games and sitting out Friday's opener of the back-to-back.
- Rookie guard Dylan Harper is expected to miss multiple weeks with a calf strain, increasing the urgency for Fox's playmaking in the backcourt.
- Fox and Victor Wembanyama logged only five games together last season—about 120 minutes—so their on-court chemistry remains largely untested.
- After being acquired last season, Fox averaged 19.7 points and 6.8 assists in 17 games before left pinkie surgery, and he signed a four-year, $229 million extension over the summer.
