SAN ANTONIO — De’Aaron Fox’s journey this past regular season was relatively smooth, though he never quite had his trademark explosiveness after starting the season out with a hamstring strain.He rarely dunked and went above the rim, something that was a part of his game before he arrived in San Antonio. However, the All-Star point guard was the metronome to a Spurs offense that was much better than expected and proved to be a vital cog in their engine as they finished second in the Western Conference.But after a decent start to the postseason, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Ayo Dosunmu landed on Fox’s leg in Game 4 of their second-round series, and Fox was never the same. He played through the injury but was a shell of himself as a scorer, being held to single digits in four of the Spurs’ final 10 playoff games.Things took a turn for the worse when his blunder capped off the New York Knicks’ historic Game 4 comeback. Fox opted to attempt a layup in the closing seconds instead of dribbling out the clock, resulting in an OG Anunoby block.With rookie Dylan Harper’s emergence as a two-way stud in the NBA playoffs and with Fox’s four-year, $229 million max extension kicking in next season, Fox’s future in San Antonio appeared to be uncertain. However, Spurs general manager Brian Wright shot down that notion Tuesday.“Obviously, the injury is a real thing, but we have the ultimate faith in De’Aaron and who he is as a player, what he’s been for us and what he means to this team,” Wright said. “And there’s no wavering in that at all.”
