De’Aaron Fox Set to Make Season Debut Saturday vs. Pelicans

UPDATE: San Antonio Spurs star De’Aaron Fox is confirmed to make his highly anticipated season debut against the New Orleans Pelicans at home this Saturday, November 4, 2023, sources have revealed to ESPN. After an offseason hamstring injury, Fox has ramped up his training this week, setting the stage for a thrilling return to the court.

This development is crucial for the Spurs, who currently hold a strong 5-2 record and are looking to build momentum with the return of their All-Star duo, Fox and rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama. The team previously logged just 120 total minutes together following Fox’s trade from Sacramento, making this debut pivotal for their chemistry and performance this season.

Fox, at just 27 years old, boasts a remarkable track record, being one of only two players to average 20 points, 5 assists, and 1 steal over the past six seasons, alongside Lakers star Luka Doncic. His presence is expected to bolster the Spurs’ offense significantly as they aim to solidify their playoff aspirations.

In addition to Fox, the Spurs are set to welcome back other injured players, enhancing their roster depth. However, rookie guard Dylan Harper is sidelined for several weeks with a calf strain, while center Luke Kornet is progressing towards a return from an ankle sprain.

As fans eagerly await Fox’s return, the atmosphere at the AT&T Center is expected to be electric. The Spurs will look to capitalize on this momentum in their NBA Cup home game against the Houston Rockets before Fox takes the court against the Pelicans.

Stay tuned as developments unfold and the Spurs aim to make a splash with their star-studded lineup. This weekend marks a significant moment in the Spurs’ journey, and fans will not want to miss it!
