Sat Jun 7 | 11:17 | De'Aaron Fox: "I'll be Ready for Next Year" |
San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox (finger) said he's doing well after undergoing season-ending surgery on his left pinkie finger in March. "I'm doing well," said Fox. "I've been cleared, so I played a little five-on-five, and I've done contact stuff, so I'll be ready for next year." The 2017 No. 5 overall pick spent his entire career in Sacramento before he was traded to San Antonio ahead of last season's deadline. He appeared in 17 contests for the Spurs before his year ended abruptly, averaging 19.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 6.8 assists while shooting a career-low 27.4% from behind the arc. With that said, the tendon damage in Fox's pinkie could have been the cause of his struggles, so there's a good chance he'll get back on track. He is also eligible to sign a four-year, $229 million extension come August, which would keep him paired with superstar center Victor Wembanyamafor years to come. |

Mon Apr 14 | 16:39 | De'Aaron Fox Hopes To Sign An Extension With San Antonio |
San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox (hand) is entering the final year of his deal that he originally signed with the Sacramento Kings. When asked about working out an extension with the Spurs this summer, Fox said, "Yeah, I hope so." The 27-year-old appeared in 62 total games (17 as a Spur) and averaged 23.5 points, 6.3 assists, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.5 steals with shooting splits of .463/.310/.827. Unfortunately, his season was cut short due to tendon damage in his pinkie. It would be hard to imagine that the Spurs don't sign him to an extension after trading for him to become Victor Wembanyama's running mate, but stranger things have happened in the NBA. |

Thu Mar 13 | 18:50 | De'Aaron Fox To Miss The Rest Of The Season |
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox (finger) will miss the rest of the 2024-25 campaign. Fox, who was traded from Sacramento ahead of the deadline, has been playing through tendon damage in his left pinkie. However, with the Spurs having virtually no hope of making the Play-In, the move was made for Fox to have surgery. It's unknown when he'll be cleared to return to basketball activities. But Fox, averaging 19.7 points, 6.8 assists, and 1.5 steals in 17 games in San Antonio, will remain a top fantasy option heading into next season, assuming he won't miss time. In the meantime, Stephon Castle should see a surge in production without Fox on the floor. |

Sat Mar 8 | 16:43 | De'Aaron Fox May Undergo Surgery In The Coming Weeks |
San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox (finger) may undergo surgery within the next few weeks. The former Sacramento King has been battling a left pinkie injury. Although surgery has always been on the radar, it may come sooner than expected, with Fox planning to visit a specialist in Los Angeles on March 17 when the Spurs visit the Lakers. If a procedure is recommended, it may occur that same day. The Spurs already are without Victor Wembanyama (illness) for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign, and with the team unlikely to secure a Play-In spot, Fox may opt for surgery now and be ready to go come the start of next season. The 27-year-old hasn't been as productive since being traded from Sacramento, averaging 19.1 points, nearly six points fewer than he had with the Kings. But if Fox gets to spend time with his San Antonio teammates this summer, he should bounce back. With that in mind, if Fox sits out the remainder of the year, Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson, and Stephon Castle will presumably each see a bump in scoring opportunities. |

Tue Feb 4 | 20:58 | De'Aaron Fox To Make Team Debut On Wednesday |
San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox is set to make his team debut against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. Fox was acquired by the Spurs in part of a three-team trade on Monday. The addition of Fox almost certainly means that Chris Paul will move to the bench. It seems likely that the Spurs would want to pair rookie Stephon Castle with Fox in the backcourt. Fox was one of the best point guards in the league while playing in Sacramento. That should continue to be the case in San Antonio, so fantasy managers better make sure to get Fox active in their lineups. |

The 2017 No. 5 overall pick has spent his entire career in Sacramento, averaging 21.5 points, 6.1 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 514 regular-season games. Reports regarding Fox's desire to head to the Spurs intensified over the last few weeks. But he'll get his wish and will now be paired with up-and-coming center ... [ More] |

Fri Jan 24 | 18:23 | De'Aaron Fox Questionable Versus The Knicks |
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (thumb) is uncertain to suit up on Saturday versus the New York Knicks. He has only missed just three games this season. However, the 27-year-old is in danger of missing this one because of a right thumb sprain. If Fox isn't available, Malik Monk will presumably handle the duties at the one. In addition, Monk averaged a team-high 23.7 points in games without Fox on the floor during the 2024-25 campaign, enhancing his value for fantasy managers. |

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Tue Jun 25 2024 | 10:16 | De'Aaron Fox Not Interested In Signing Extension This Year |
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox isn't expected to ink an extension with the team this year. According to The Athletic, the 2023 All-Star wants to see how the roster takes shape for the long haul before committing himself to the Kings. There is also the added incentive of earning a bigger deal if Fox makes an All-NBA team. His current $163 million contract has two more years left to run. Fox has taken big strides as a player in recent seasons, with the Kings' playing style suiting him like a glove. The 26-year-old averaged career-highs in points (26.6), rebounds (4.6), and steals (2.0) in 2023-24, leading the league in the latter category. |

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) will play against the Chicago Bulls on Monday.
