De'Aaron Fox to Miss Remainder of Season for Surgery on Finger Injury

The Spurs guard will undergo surgery next week to address a long-standing tendon injury in his left pinkie finger.

De'Aaron Fox will have surgery on Tuesday in Los Angeles to repair the extensor tendon in his left pinkie finger, ending his season.
The 27-year-old guard has been playing with the injury since training camp with the Sacramento Kings, taping his pinkie and ring fingers together throughout the season.
Fox joined the San Antonio Spurs in a February trade and averaged 19.7 points in 17 games with the team, finishing the season with an overall average of 25 points across 45 games.
The Spurs, sitting in 12th place in the Western Conference, are now without their two leading scorers, as Victor Wembanyama was previously sidelined for the season due to a blood clot issue.
Fox's teammates and acting coach Mitch Johnson have praised his professionalism and resilience, expressing optimism about his impact on the team once he fully recovers.
