Somebody posted him guesting on a podcast, and about 2/3s of the way thru, he mentioned that in his last game with Wemby,they both encountered situations where both defenders went with one player, and neither of them had ever encountered both players going with the other offensive player. Like, never in the NBA. This could be fun to watch next year.Swipa one of the most efficient PnR players in the league. Just got to get him more opportunities in it with Wemby.
Indeed. We all we so pleased at how CP3 running the PnR made us look so much better, and he's only an average efficiency, low volume PnR man. De'Aaron is Top-5 in PnR efficiency and has never had a weapon like Wemby running it with him... and theoretically we should also see Castle make a huge leap in PPP as he continues to grow. Sochan is also a rather efficient roll man so there are some possibilities there as well. Exciting.
any update?
On what? He's out for the season. He had successful surgery. He'll be back in time for training camp.
A recent podcast appearance. His big cast is off, and he has like a small soft cast and a splint underneath.
I think the left hand is ok - from his basketball camp today.
I recall reading that his pinkie injury was horrific as far as those go but nothing about it being not repairable.
Fox is a SPECIAL talent. Wemby rookie year I’d never heard of him but recall us putting Sochan on him who could barely slow him at all. He’s very dynamic with a high BBIQ and team oriented too. I think we are in store for a real treat seeing him and the rest of the team we put together next season.
You'd never heard of De'Aaron Fox before Victor's rookie year? I'm surprised if so. I didn't watch him much to be familiar with his game, but I definitely knew who he was.
He did have an interview a while ago, showed on the video (just after the surgery I think it was), it still doesn't stay in it's natural state like before the injury, but I think that is as good/close as it's going to get.

RealGM summarized the article below:
San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox is recovering well from surgery on his left pinkie finger. That has Fox excited to be gearing up for his first full season in San Antonio. The veteran point guard hopes that first full season comes with a contract extension with the Spurs.
"I would definitely hope so," Fox said when asked his optimism about signing an extension this summer.
Fox is eligible to sign a four-year, $228.6 million extension with San Antonio this offseason. He's limited to four years, because the Spurs acquired him via trade after his rookie scale contract ended. That max extension for Fox would kick in at $51 million with the 2026-27 season.
As for his recovery from late-season surgery on the little finger on his shooting hand, Fox said he's back to full-go.
"I’m doing well. The surgery went fine," Fox said. "I’ve been cleared so I played a little five-on-five and I’ve done contact stuff, so I’ll be ready for next year."

That extension is going to be nasty.
If he only wants the max he's making himself a trade asset.
If both Castle and Harper prove themselves max players then they'll have to trade De'Aaron in the summer of 2029, in which case it'll be a huge expiring contract. Wright has set the team up really well for the last half of the decade. The real danger is if he gets caught up in getting Durant and pays him a supermax on his two year extension. Really hoping they can get that extension done for say 2 years $60 to $70 million if they trade for him.
not really. I just hope we can get a "we're bringing you Durant" discount, so it's like 50 million per year.
His extension is really a non-issue.
If Spurs traded for him, it's because they were fine with him getting a max extension. Spurs getting Harper shouldn't change that.
BTW, Fox is a damn good player. He is well worth, in the current NBA economical landscape, the $229M/4 years extension he should get this summer.
The supermax would have been, I wouldn't have touched that with a 10 ft pole. But the max extension he'd be looking at is 4 years 229 million, starting at 51.1 million (30%) and, even if it increases by 8% yearly, it will go down as a percentage of the cap because the cap will increase even more. As long as Fox doesn't regress or get seriously injured John Wall style, his contract should be movable if necessary.
Come on guys. He asked to be here. Don't forget that. The Spurs got lucky in the lottery, which is awesome, but that doesn't mean De'Aaron should get talked about being traded and asked to take a pay cut. I'm sure the FO and him discussed an extension and/or what it would look like. If they haven't, maybe they can negotiate a little by laying out what they need if they get Durant and Harper to keep the team together, but if they did agree to a max extension before or after the trade, I don't see them going back on that.
Fox deal done?
Fox is here to stay and people should and will be fine with it. He will be our second best player for several years (unless there is a weird trade for Giannis and maybe for a year if KD comes over) and will get his max extention. By the time that is up, it's less than the 30% and thus will be still fine. Then we will see: IF Harper and Castle are great, he might get moved...or he signs for less and probably becomes a supreme 6th man.
Anyway: Be happy we have him and stacking Fox, Harper and Castle is fine too (with Harper being the 6th man, later probably Castle)...just have Manu attent practices to show that being 6th man is fine.
I keep seeing reports on social media about Fox agreeing to a 3 year 140M extension but can't find any legit reports. Anyone seeing similar?
That would be ing amazing.
Right? Seems too good to be true but I've seen two pages mention it. Probably BS but if I find legit sauce I'll post it
Yeah probably BS, can't find anyone legitimate reporting this news yet. Nevermind
The only logic behind the 3 year extension ( more like 2+ a player option) would be for Fox to get to 10 years of experience and be eligible for a 35% max. It’s unlikely that he’d get that realistically even if he’s eligible, so he’d be smart to sign the 4/229. It’s probably just speculation.
Fox can’t sign any extension until Aug 3, so any reports suggesting anything is “done” should be taken with some degree of a grain of salt.
