De'Aaron Fox is Ruled Out for Game 1 on Monday
San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Monday's Game 1 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Wow, this is a huge blow to the Spurs as they head into the Western Conference Finals. Fox was listed as probable on the injury report all day until getting downgraded to out just an hour before tip-off. The expectation is that the Spurs will turn to rookie Dylan Harper with Fox on the sideline. Stephon Castle should take on more playmaking responsibility, so his fantasy value is on the rise. Victor Wembanyama will be asked to take on a heavy workload offensively without Fox in the mix.

De'Aaron Fox Listed as Questionable for Monday's Action
San Antonio Spurs point guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) is listed as questionable for the Western Conference Finals opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night. This isn't surprising, as Fox has recently dealt with soreness in his right ankle. It doesn't appear to be a big issue, but if Fox has to miss time, the Spurs will rely more on Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper in the backcourt. His absence could also increase the workload for Keldon Johnson, who has been limited to 18.5 minutes a night in the playoffs.

De'Aaron Fox Highly Effective in Blowout Win
San Antonio Spurs point guard De'Aaron Fox eased his way to 21 points, four rebounds, nine assists, and two blocks in just 24 minutes in Friday's series-clinching 139-109 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Fox went a perfect 3-for-3 from behind the arc and 2-for-2 at the line, missing just two of 10 field-goal attempts. This was one of Fox's best performances of the postseason. While the All-Star guard hasn't set the world alight in the playoffs, he has done a solid job overall. Across 11 appearances, Fox has contributed 18.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.1 steals per game. He's been dealing with an ankle issue and left the first half early on Friday, which is something to monitor in the upcoming Western Conference Finals against Oklahoma City.

Dylan Harper Cleared for Action Tuesday
San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (knee) will suit up for Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night. The team added him to the injury report in the afternoon due to a sore left knee, but Harper has been upgraded from questionable to available ahead of tip-off. In Game 4, Harper bounced back from a quiet eight-point outing with 24 points, matching De'Aaron Fox for the team-high. He has yet to register back-to-back 20-point outings during his first postseason campaign. Across nine playoff outings, Harper has posted averages of 13.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.3 steals.

Fox hurt his right ankle in Game 4 and was initially listed as questionable on the injury report. After participating in the morning shootaround, he was deemed a game-time decision. In the last game, Fox produced his second-highest scoring performance of the 2026 playoffs, finishing with 24 points. He has been solid but unspectacular during San Antonio's postseason campaign, averaging 18.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 1.3 steals.

De'Aaron Fox Listed as Questionable for Game 5
San Antonio Spurs point guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) is considered questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 tilt against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Fox injured his right ankle in Game 4 but had no issues finishing the game. Yet he has landed on the injury report before Tuesday's contest, leaving his status uncertain. The two-time All-Star posted 24 points, four rebounds, three assists, and three steals in 37 minutes in San Antonio's 114-109 Game 4 loss. If Fox can't suit up on Tuesday, the Spurs will hope to get more production from Keldon Johnson and Dylan Harper. Harper, who also had a good two-way showing in Game 4, would be the likely replacement for Fox in the starting unit.

De'Aaron Fox Posts 24 Points as Spurs Drop Game 4 to Wolves
San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox accumulated 24 points (8-for-23 on field goals, 1-for-7 from three, 7-for-10 on free throws), four rebounds, three assists, and three steals across 37 minutes in Sunday's 114-109 Game 4 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Fox shared team-high scoring honors with rookie Dylan Harper, who also poured in 24 off the bench, as the Spurs' backcourt tried to absorb the loss of Victor Wembanyama, who was ejected early in the second quarter after a Flagrant 2 elbow on Naz Reid. The veteran point guard's efficiency was a concern, as he made only 34.8 percent of his field-goal attempts and went 1-for-7 from beyond the arc. Wembanyama's status for Tuesday's Game 5 in San Antonio is to be determined by the league following the Flagrant 2 foul call, and Fox could see another heavy workload if the Spurs are without their superstar.
