Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Offensive nightmare in Finals loss
De'Aaron Fox closed with seven points (3-15 FG, 1-8 3Pt), five assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 94-90 loss to the Knicks in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.Fox wrapped up a brutal championship series with another dreadful shooting display, failing to crack 37.5 percent shooting from the field for a third straight game as San Antonio was eliminated. The 28-year-old guard was never able to recapture his pre-injury form after returning from a Western Conference Finals high-ankle sprain, averaging a meager 12.8 points while shooting 34.4 percent from the field and 25.0 percent from deep across the five Finals contests. Beyond the efficiency woes, Fox's decision-making plagued the San Antonio Spurs at the worst possible moments and most notably in Game 4, when he inexplicably drove into a contested layup attempt instead of running out the clock and forcing New York to foul while up one with 12 seconds remaining. With San Antonio heading into the offseason, management will have to weigh whether Fox can adjust his game alongside rising stars Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper, or if his maximum contract will continue to clog the team's flexibility.

Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Offensive struggles continue
De'Aaron Fox had seven points (3-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 105-95 loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.Fox scored single digits for the third time in his past four games, continuing what has been an underwhelming stretch of games since returning from an ankle injury. In those six appearances, he has averaged just 10.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.5 steals. If San Antonio is to wrestle back home-court advantage, Fox is going to have to figure things out in a hurry.

Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Tweaks ankle in return
De'Aaron Fox (ankle) finished with 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal across 31 minutes in Friday's 123-108 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.Fox missed the first two games of the series because of a high-ankle sprain. While the 28-year-old was able to play Friday, he had a tough time getting things going offensively and finished with one of his lowest-scoring performances of the postseason. With the Thunder taking a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference Finals after the win, these teams will meet for a crucial Game 4 on Sunday. Considering Fox briefly exited Game 3 after aggravating the ankle issue, it wouldn't be surprising to see him pop up on the injury report. If he can't suit up, Dylan Harper would be the favorite to rejoin the starting lineup after starting Games 1 and 2.
