De'Aaron Fox Reacts to Loss as Fans Troll Stats vs. Knicks Before $228.6M Spurs Contract Extension
Following the 2026 NBA Finals, the San Antonio Spurs might be second-guessing their decision to proactively re-sign star guard De'Aaron Fox.
Fox had a series to forget against the New York Knicks and capped if off by going scoreless in the fourth quarter of Game 5. After the 94-90 loss, he said this will be a learning experience for the Spurs' young core. Addressing his own performance, he said his shots "felt good" but simply didn't fall:

Fox's general contributions are leading some to wonder whether the Spurs have a $228.6 million problem on their hands:
Fox averaged 12.8 points and 6.0 assists over five games in the Finals and was borderline unplayable thanks to his inefficient shooting (34.3 percent) and lack of defensive value.
Given his massive salary, San Antonio can only hope to avoid a repeat of what happened in the Finals because offloading the two-time All-Star could be easier said than done. Fox is likely to be a part of the team's long-term plans.
