SAN ANTONIO (AP)— Guard De’Aaron Fox of the San Antonio Spurs will be sidelined for the remainder of the season due to a finger injury.
The Spurs announced that Fox will undergo surgery on Tuesday to fix a tendon in his left hand.
The injury occurred during the training camp in October when he was still part of the Sacramento Kings. This season, Fox managed to average 23.5 points, 6.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds over a total of 62 games. He was traded to the Spurs on February 3, where he contributed with averages of 19.7 points, 6.8 assists, and 4.3 rebounds across 17 games.
