Spurs Stay Committed to De'Aaron Fox as Their Starting Point Guard
San Antonio remains committed to De'Aaron Fox as its franchise point guard, even after a rough playoff series while he dealt with a bad ankle, ESPN's Michael C. Wright reports. Sources have described Fox as a steadying presence and the team's closer, and one rough series does not appear to have changed that. His four-year, $229 million extension kicks in next season, lifting his salary to roughly $49.8 million. The bigger fantasy thread is the backcourt logjam: Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper all need the ball, and Fox's production settled around 18.6 points and 6.2 assists in a shared setup. Harper's camp is expected to push harder for a starting role after a 24-point, seven-steal playoff game, making last year's No. 2 pick the upside name to track while the Spurs hold firm on Fox.
