San Antonio Spurs star De'Aaron Fox will undergo season-ending surgery on Tuesday in Los Angeles to repair tendon damage in his left pinkie, sources told ESPN. The decision to proceed with the surgery was made to expedite the healing process and to allow Fox to gain offseason chemistry with the roster based on his recovery timeline. Fox, who was traded to the Spurs from the Sacramento Kings at the NBA trade deadline, played through the injury since suffering it during training camp in October. In his 17 games with the Spurs, Fox averaged 19.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game. Over the course of 62 games with both the Spurs and the Kings, he averaged 23.5 points, 6.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds. His best performance with the Spurs was a 32-point game, and he also set a franchise record with a 60-point game while with the Kings. Fox and Lakers star Luka Doncic are the only two players to average 20 points, five assists, and one steal in each of the last six seasons. His absence will see him miss the final 18 games of the regular season. The Spurs are also dealing with the absence of star center Victor Wembanyama, who was sidelined with a blood clot after the All-Star break, and coach Gregg Popovich, who has been out since suffering a mild stroke in November, further impacting the team's chances of competing for a play-in spot.
