De'Aaron Fox Falters in Season-Ending Defeat
San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox endured a brutal shooting night in Saturday's 94-90 Game 5 loss to the New York Knicks, scoring seven points on 3-for-15 from the field. He added five assists, two steals, and one 3-pointer, but he and fellow starter Stephon Castle combined to shoot 4-for-25 as the Spurs fell 4-1 in the Finals. Rookie Dylan Harper outplayed both off the bench with a team-high 25 points, fueling calls to rework San Antonio's backcourt. That is the fantasy concern for next season: Fox remains an elite scorer and playmaker with steals upside, but his cold Finals and the fast-rising Harper and Castle cloud his usage and even his hold on a starting role, all with his four-year max extension set to begin in 2026-27. His talent keeps the floor high, yet the situation is suddenly worth monitoring.
