Spurs' De'Aaron Fox to Miss Rest of Season Following Finger Surgery

The guard will undergo surgery for tendon damage in his left pinkie, ending his first season with San Antonio after 17 games.

De'Aaron Fox, acquired by the Spurs in February, will have surgery Tuesday to repair tendon damage in his left pinkie, an injury sustained during training camp with the Sacramento Kings.
Fox played 17 games for San Antonio, averaging 19.7 points, 6.8 assists, and 4.3 rebounds, but the team opted for surgery to ensure his full recovery for the 2025-26 season.
The Spurs are already without star center Victor Wembanyama, who was ruled out for the season in February due to a blood clot in his shoulder, and coach Gregg Popovich, sidelined since November after a stroke.
San Antonio's record stands at 27-37, with slim chances of making the play-in tournament as they sit 12th in the Western Conference, 4.5 games behind the 10th-seeded Mavericks.
Fox's absence, alongside Wembanyama's, shifts the Spurs' focus to rebuilding for next season, with hopes of improving team chemistry and potentially drafting a top prospect in the 2025 NBA Draft.
