De'Aaron Fox's Playoff Struggles | San Antonio Spurs News

DeAaron Fox’s playoff journey has sparked debate, especially after his NBA Finals showing—and yes, that ankle injury in Game Four of the Western Conference Semifinals can’t be ignored. Before the injury, his numbers weren’t exactly Spurs’ expectations: 19 points on 44% shooting, but just 26% from three and 51% from the line. Even with nearly 54% of his shots being open or wide open, he only hit 39% of them. The offense is clearly creating chances—he’s getting clean looks off the dribble and catch-and-shoot—but the pressure’s on him to convert. With Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle handling the bulk of the shot creation, Fox’s role is to capitalize on defenses stretched thin. The question now? Can he make those shots when it matters most—and can the Spurs keep trusting their system without needing to overhaul it?
