Fox provided 18 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five assists and four rebounds across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 126-97 win over the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Fox shook off his questionable tag due to right ankle soreness to suit up Tuesday, though he struggled with efficiency in this one. Still, he finished as the Spurs' third-leading scorer and dished out at least five assists for the third time in five second-round games. However, the 28-year-old point guard's struggles from beyond the arc continued, as he has now shot just 18.8 percent from deep over the last three games.

Rotowire
Fox (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Timberwolves.
The right ankle soreness is a new concern for Fox, who hasn't missed a game since March 25. If the veteran point guard is unable to suit up, Dylan Harper and Keldon Johnson would likely see increased playing time. Over four second-round games, Fox has averaged 16.8 points, 4.0 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 32.8 minutes per showing.

Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Pours in 24 points during loss
Rotowire
Fox accumulated 24 points (8-23 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 114-109 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Fox matched his second-best total of the playoffs in the Game 4 defeat, as the backcourt led the way for the Spurs following Victor Wembanyama's ejection. The momentum swung back in Fox's direction in the never-ending production battle with Stephon Castle, as deciding between the two standouts is a frequent test for DFS players. Both of them produced high totals in the loss, but Fox matched Dylan Harper to lead the team in scoring.

Fox got off to a sluggish start, missing his first four shots and going into the halftime tunnel with just six points on 3-for-10 shooting.

The star guard came up a bit small in Game 1, scoring a postseason-low 10 points. Fox is still putting together a strong run overall during the playoffs despite Monday's showing, averaging 18.5 points, 6.7 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 35.0 minutes per game covering six contests.

He was also adept at getting the ball to other playmakers, collecting a series-high nine assists. As long as Fox and Stephon Castle continue to generate solid numbers, the Spurs' playoff outlook will remain bright.

Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Rough night from deep
Rotowire
Fox finished with 18 points (7-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds and six assists in 36 minutes during Friday's 120-108 victory over the Trail Blazers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
After shooting 40 percent from downtown in Game 1, Fox has shot a combined 2-for-9 from that range in his last two appearances. However, despite the shooting woes, the 28-year-old has remained involved on both ends of the floor, and he may be required to do more in Game 4 on Sunday if Victor Wembanyama (concussion) isn't cleared to return.

Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Scores 24 in loss to Denver
Rotowire
Fox closed with 24 points (8-21 FG, 4-14 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block in 33 minutes during Sunday's 128-118 loss to the Nuggets.
Fox handled a steady workload in the regular-season finale and posted a strong fantasy line even when considering his lack of efficiency from the field. Fox averaged 18.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game in 72 regular-season appearances. His numbers took a hit compared to the 2024-25 campaign, but that's due to the emergence of the young talent surrounding him, such as MVP candidate Victor Wembanyama (ribs), Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper (thumb). Still, Fox should operate as the Spurs' No. 2 option on offense in the playoffs.

Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Steps up with team-high 25 points
Rotowire
Fox recorded 25 points (10-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 victory over Portland.
The star guard led the Spurs in scoring, and he's really stepped up in a big way this year when Victor Wembanyama (ribs) has been out of the lineup. Over 17 games without Wembanyama available this season, Fox has averaged 24.6 points, 6.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 32.5 minutes per contest.

Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Drops team-high 22 in win
Rotowire
Fox notched 22 points (9-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and three steals in 29 minutes during Thursday's 118-99 win over the Clippers.
The 22 points led the Spurs on the night, as Fox stepped up while Victor Wembanyama (ankle) sat out the second game of a back-to-back. Fox has scored 20-plus points only twice in his last 10 appearances, a stretch in which he's averaging 15.3 points, 5.3 assists, 4.3 boards, 1.4 steals and 1.0 threes while shooting just 25.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Struggles from field despite win
Rotowire
Fox contributed seven points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Monday's 129-114 victory over Chicago.
Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle led the Spurs in this routine 15-point win over the Bulls, so Fox's poor shooting and overall subpar showing didn't have much impact. Fox has been relegated to a secondary role in the Spurs' offensive scheme, but this was a new low for him. This seven-point output tied his second-worst scoring mark since the All-Star break, but considering he was averaging 17.9 points per game since the beginning of March heading into Monday's game, there's a strong chance this might have been nothing more than a down game for the veteran guard.

Fox contributed 23 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Thursday's 101-100 victory over the Suns.
Even though Victor Wembanyama drew all the praise after draining the game-winning shot that locked up a playoff spot for the Spurs, Fox's contributions in this game can't be overlooked. The veteran floor general has done a good job as the Spurs' No. 2 scoring option all season long and has constantly hovered around the 20-point mark of late, reaching it in five of his previous nine appearances. Over that stretch, Fox is averaging 21.4 points, 6.6 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game while shooting 53.1 percent from the floor.

Fox enjoyed an accurate night on his former home court. Fox's results were much better than Stephon Castle's line, a trend that has happened more frequently as the season wears on. Although Fox logged his second consecutive game with fewer than 20 points, his diverse efforts in secondary categories have helped out his bottom line.
