Spurs star De’Aaron Fox opens up on offensive partnership with Victor Wembanyama

After eight seasons with the Sacramento Kings, De’Aaron Fox took a new path by joining the San Antonio Spurs. Despite the surprise move, he quickly impressed with strong performances. A season-ending injury cut his campaign short, just as Victor Wembanyama also went down with a serious injury. Their absence left the Spurs without their top offensive duo during a crucial stretch. Now, with both stars focused on recovery, Fox has already outlined their combo goals for next season.

“We want to be the best pick and roll combo in the league. We have two guys who are extremely dynamic, can pick and choose our spots whenever we want…If you’re able to really put together that type of combination I feel like it’s going to be a hard thing to stop,” stated De’Aaron Fox.

Without the injuries to Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox, they could’ve had a real shot at tenth spot in the western conference. However, the dynamic duo still delivered standout performances and showed fans a glimpse of their potential. As a result, expectations are higher with a healthy roster next NBA season. Fox plays a key role in the Spurs’ offense and brings the scoring touch the team needs.

Nevertheless, Fox has yet to reach his full potential with the Spurs. He averaged 19.7 points per game in San Antonio, which is noticeably below the 25 points he recorded in his final season with the Kings. Even so, his contributions were encouraging.

As De’Aaron joined the team midseason, he did not have time to fully adjust. Despite that, he showed flashes of his talent. In his last game before his injury, he dropped 32 points. That performance was an early sign that, with time, he can become a major force in the Spurs’ offense.

Victor Wembanyama injury update: How the Spurs’ young phenom is progressing in his recovery?

Amid a wave of injuries that plagued the San Antonio Spurs this season, none impacted the team more than Victor Wembanyama’s setback. The 21-year-old phenom averaged 24.3 points, 11 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. His injury came as a surprise, especially because it did not happen during game action. Also, the timing made it even more frustrating for fans and the team.

Now that the season is over, fans have shifted their attention to Wembanyama’s recovery. The rising star recently shared an update on his rehab. His comments offered a clear glimpse into how the process is going and what to expect moving forward.

“We’re taking our time. I’m neither late or early, but it’s a process…It’s all very controlled and light, and even though sometimes I feel like I would like to do more, it’s a logical medical direction and I trust the process and trust the medical staff,” affirmed Wembanyama.
