San Antonio Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox is set to make his season debut against the New Orleans Pelicans this Saturday. This announcement follows his recovery from a hamstring injury sustained during the offseason. After ramping up his training this week, Fox is ready to rejoin the lineup.
Impact of Fox’s Return
Fox’s return brings significant potential for the Spurs. The team, now featuring the All-Star pairing of Fox and rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama, aims to capitalize on their chemistry this season. Last year, they only played together for 120 total minutes after Fox’s mid-season trade from Sacramento.
Current Team Status
- The Spurs have a record of 5-2 as of Friday night.
- The team is poised to deepen its roster with Fox’s return.
- Fox, 27, is known for averaging 20 points, 5 assists, and 1 steal over the last six seasons.
Other Injuries on the Roster
Fox’s debut is timely, as he is the first among several injured players expected to return. Rookie guard Dylan Harper is currently sidelined with a calf strain. Additionally, center Luke Kornet is working towards recovery from an ankle sprain.
Looking Ahead
With Fox back in action, the Spurs are aiming for a strong performance against the Pelicans. This matchup will provide an opportunity for the team to build momentum in the early part of the season.
