De'Aaron Fox Stays Put as Spurs GM Clears Air on His Role

2026-06-25 · De'Aaron Fox · Player Focus

De'Aaron Fox will remain with the San Antonio Spurs, as confirmed by GM Brian Wright after the 2026 NBA draft.

The Spurs' plans for Fox were uncertain following his poor NBA Finals showing and Dylan Harper's impressive postseason.

Reports emerged that San Antonio would keep Fox, and Wright confirmed this, stating the team has "ultimate faith" in him.

Fox's 4-year, $219 million contract starts next season, and benching him could hurt his trade value.

The Spurs have a promising backcourt with Harper and Stephon Castle, making Fox's role uncertain.

Wright's comments may be a strategy to rebuild Fox's value before a potential trade.

The situation will be closely watched, especially if Fox remains the starter over Harper.

Fox's performance and the team's decisions will be crucial in the upcoming season, starting with the 2026-2027 NBA season.
