Overview
- San Antonio listed De’Aaron Fox as available for Saturday’s home game against New Orleans, confirming his first appearance of the 2025–26 season.
- Fox missed preseason and the Spurs’ first eight games with a right hamstring strain after last season ended early due to left pinkie surgery.
- Coaches and media expect the veteran guard to stabilize the offense and likely start, offering playmaking and scoring next to Victor Wembanyama.
- Fox and Wembanyama logged only five games together last season—roughly 120 minutes—so extended on‑court chemistry remains largely untested.
- Acquired last season from Sacramento, Fox signed a four‑year extension worth about $229 million over the summer, cementing his role as San Antonio’s lead guard.
