The San Antonio Spurs lost a star in Victor Wembanyama last month. They just lost another.
The guardian of the Spurs de’aaron Fox will undergo end of season surgery on Tuesday for the damage of the tendon in his little Pinkie, according to Charania Shams d’Espn. The injury has would have I was a seasonal problem for Fox, who supported him in the training camp with the Sacramento Kings in October.
The spurs Acquired Fox on the deadline for trade last month after the stars asked for a trade in Sacramentowith San Antonio as His favorite destination reported.
As Charania says, the decision is designed to accelerate Fox rehabilitation and give it a chance to work with the Spurs list during the offseason. Seen from a different angle, the Spurs decided that Fox was available for the offseason was more important than the current regular season, in which there is little to play.
Wembanyama was excluded for the season on February 20 after being diagnosed with deep venous thrombosis on the shoulderBy taking almost all the gusts of wind from the sails of the Spurs after the fox trade. The team has a 3-8 sheet since that day and is currently in 12th place in the West at 27-37.
Without Wembanyama, the team is more incentive to lose as many matches as possible and to hope that a new Cooper Flagg shines falls on his knees, rather than putting pressure for a place in the game tournament. Fox has undergone surgery that disturbs him all season, but which did not prevent him from publishing his usual figures, is part of this dynamic.
When the two players are healthy, Fox believes that it is an excellent complement to the talent of another world of Wembanyama. He just didn’t have the chance to do it for more than five games this season.
