The San Antonio Spurs announced Thursday that the Heard of’Aaron Fox will suffer an operation at the end of the season on his little Pinkie. Fox has an extensor tendon damage in the finger that was supported during the training camp in October when he was with the Sacramento Kings, but he played throughout the season. Surgery is scheduled for Tuesday in Los Angeles, the team said.
The time of surgery was intentional to allow Fox enough time to recover during the summer and to have time to build chemistry with its new teammates before the start of next season, Per Shams Charania d’Espn. Fox should be ready for the start of next season.
With 18 games on the left this season and San Antonio (27-37) far from the game image, it makes the decision to close Fox easier, especially after the star of Spurs Victor Wembanyama was Excluded for the rest of the season Back at the end of February due to a blood clot.
Fox was exchanged from Kings to San Antonio before the deadline for trade in February with the intention of playing alongside Wembanyama for the future. However, Fox and Wembanyama have managed to play only five games together, and now with the two sidelines for the rest of the season, we will have to wait next season to see how they approach more time. On paper, this should be an exciting partnership, because the duo collected an average of 57 points together during the period, which ranks like the second highest score duo on the list of spurs this season.

It is not a difficult bar to pass because the Spurs looked for another score star to place next to Wembanyama. Fox achieves this objective. He is the ideal leader to associate with Wemby, capable of putting the ball in the places that the 7 -foot 3 inch French wants, and being a shooting creator to relieve the pressure of Wembanyama. He was also among the most engaged players in the League in the past two years, winning the clutch player of the year during the 2022-23 season. In 62 games for Spurs and Kings, Fox had 23.5 points, 6.3 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game.
Although this season does not go as well as the spurs originally imagined, the future is brilliant with a completely healthy fox and Wembanyama next season. Combine this with the emerging guard Stephon Castle, who is in the running for the recruit of the year while the season ends, as well as some other promising role players, and San Antonio should be a competitive team next season.
