The Spurs star who will finally be able to make his NBA debut this season
The Texas franchise is now getting back De'Aaron Fox, who will return with his team in the top positions of the West.
The start of the 2025/26 season for the NBA San Antonio Spurs has been incredible. The Texas franchise, led by Victor Wembanyama, has won 6 of their first 8 games. And the best part is that they have done it without their second star: De'Aaron Fox, who is now cleared to return after injury.
As reported by the team, the point guard will make his official debut this Saturday when the Spurs host the New Orleans Pelicans. Fox has been sidelined since the start of the season due to a hamstring injury suffered during preseason, but he has finally been given the green light by the medical staff to return to action.
The return of the explosive point guard comes at an ideal time for the Spurs, who are off to an exceptional start with a record of 6-2, solidifying their position in the top spots of the Western Conference. Having one of their stars back not only strengthens their rotation but also allows them to reunite their most promising duo: Fox and Victor Wembanyama, who only shared the court for 120 minutes last season due to injuries and subsequent adjustments.
A Duo Destined to Dominate
The partnership between Fox and Wembanyama was a major bet for the Spurs when they acquired the point guard from the Sacramento Kings before last season's trade deadline. In the few games they shared, they showed flashes of offensive chemistry and transition speed that could transform San Antonio's system into one of the most dynamic in the league.
In the 2024-25 season, Fox averaged 23.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.5 steals per game between the Kings and the Spurs, showcasing his two-way impact and his ability to lead explosive offenses. Over the summer, the franchise reaffirmed its confidence in him by signing a four-year, $229 million contract extension, solidifying him as one of the cornerstones of the project alongside Wembanyama.
