De’Aaron Fox injury update: San Antonio Spurs guard to miss rest of season
The San Antonio Spurs continue to receive bad news about the health of members within its organization.
Point guard De’Aaron Fox has been ruled out for the remainder of the NBA season because of finger surgery.
Fox is expected to undergo surgery to repair an extensor tendon in his left fifth finger, according to the team.
The Spurs announced last month that leading scorer Victor Wembanyama would be out for the rest of the season because he had a deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
Coach Gregg Popovich won't return this season after suffering a mild stroke in November.
How much time will De’Aaron Fox miss?
Fox is expected to make a full recovery and be ready to play at the start of the 2025-26 season, according to the Spurs.
The Spurs were involved in a three-way trade with the Sacramento Kings and the Chicago Bulls in early February. Fox headlined the deal that involved seven players and seven draft picks.
Fox is currently in the fourth year of a five-year, $163 million contract that he signed with the Kings. It started with the 2021-22 season, according to spotrac.
How did De’Aaron Fox get hurt?
The Spurs said Fox was injured during training camp while he was still a member of the Kings.
Where do the Spurs go from here?
The Spurs started Thursday with a 27-37 record. They're ranked 12th in the Western Conference standings and are unlikely to reach the postseason. The team has gone 3-7 in its last 10 games.
The NBA Draft Lottery will be held on May 12. The Spurs currently have the 10th best odds (3%) to land the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 draft, according to Tankathon.
