圣安东尼奥马刺队的德阿龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 于2025年9月29日，在圣安东尼奥胜利资本训练中心举行的媒体日上为媒体拍照。
马刺队控球后卫德阿龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 表示，由于在休赛期遭遇右腿筋伤病，他认为自己无法及时得到球队医疗组的许可，出战10月22日客场对阵达拉斯的常规赛揭幕战。
“我认为我已经准备好了，但我不是这方面的专家，”福克斯在周一的媒体日上说道。
福克斯表示，他同样预计不会出战季前赛。
“我以前从未受过腿筋伤，所以我不知道那应该是什么感觉，”他说道。“但就像我说的，我现在感觉很棒。不过，是的，我认为我不会在揭幕战中上场。我绝对不会打季前赛，这一点是肯定的。”
马刺队将于周二开启训练营。他们的季前赛揭幕战定于10月6日在霜冻银行中心举行，对手是一支来自中国的球队。
“我们会像往常一样，对此事保持高度谨慎和保守的态度，”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 在谈到福克斯的出战状态时表示。“他明天会出现在训练场上，但我们会着眼于长远。显然，未来的赛季还很漫长。”
尽管腿筋伤势尚存，但福克斯此前为修复左手小指肌腱损伤而接受的休赛期手术已完全康复。自马刺队在2月3日的一笔三方交易中从萨克拉门托得到这位前全明星球员后，该伤病导致他上赛季仅为球队出战了17场比赛。
“手已经完全没问题了，”福克斯说道。他上赛季为马刺队场均贡献19.7分、6.8次助攻、4.3个篮板和1.5次抢断。
马刺队在季前赛中可能还将缺少新秀迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)，他在9月初接受了左手拇指副韧带部分撕裂的修复手术。不过，这位19岁的后卫表示，他“绝对相信”自己可以出战季前赛。
“我感觉很好，”左撇子哈珀说道。“我认为康复进展得非常顺利。”
但约翰逊表示，哈珀目前还没有具体的复出时间表。这位在六月选秀大会上以榜眼身份被选中的球员是在一次休赛期训练中受伤的，目前佩戴着一个保护性塑料夹板。
“一切都在朝着正确的方向发展，我们只希望继续保持这个势头，”约翰逊说。
哈珀则表示：“我宁愿现在缺席，也不愿在赛季期间、在我们必须赢下比赛的时候缺席。”
在福克斯和哈珀缺阵的情况下，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔很可能会在季前赛中获得大量的控卫出场时间。
“他天生就是这块料，已经展现出胜任这一角色的能力并取得了成功，”约翰逊在谈到这位2024-25赛季NBA年度最佳新秀所展现出的全面性时说道。
前锋杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 在休赛期遭遇了左小腿伤病，其季前赛出战状态也同样成疑。
“伤得不太重，我感觉很好，”索汉说。
约翰逊说：“所有这些家伙每天都在变得越来越好，不断进步，并且渴望推动进程，但显然我们不会这样做，这和我们一贯的传统做法一致。”
福克斯与马刺皆对续约感到满意
福克斯表示，在休赛期获得马刺队提供的一份为期四年、价值2.29亿美元的顶薪续约合同后，他的信心倍增。
这份合同确保了福克斯在2029-30赛季之前都将为球队效力。
“当你身处一个信任你的体系中时，感觉总是很棒，”他说道。“这无疑会给予你信心，让你上场拼尽全力，发挥出全部潜能。”
马刺队总经理布莱恩·莱特 (Brian Wright) 表示，得知福克斯对球队的未来“完全投入”后，他对于能与福克斯续约感到非常兴奋。
“他早就已经是一名杰出的球员了，”莱特在谈到这位27岁、在休斯顿长大的新奥尔良人时说道。“他不是那种籍籍无名的年轻球员。”
当被问及其他有资格获得续约的球员（包括索汉）时，莱特的态度不置可否。
“我们走着瞧，”莱特说。“你必须一步一步来处理这些事情，我们现在正努力打造一支球队，看看所有拼图如何融合在一起，所以我们会观察情况如何发展。”
约翰逊盛赞新任助教
约翰逊表示，他相信新聘请的助理教练肖恩·斯威尼 (Sean Sweeney) 和科利斯·威廉姆森 (Corliss Williamson) 将能很好地融入马刺队的体系。
“我们对引进的人员感到非常满意，”约翰逊说。“我们觉得他们是属于我们这里的人，专注于做正确的事情。”
马刺队期望以防守见长的斯威尼能够加强球队在该端的表现。
斯威尼以首席助教的身份加盟马刺，此前他在达拉斯担任了四个赛季的助理教练。在为独行侠工作之前，他于2018-21年在底特律担任了三个赛季的助教，更早之前则是在2014-18年间于密尔沃基担任了四年的相同职位。
福克斯表示，斯威尼的防守“哲学”一直以来都让人难以应对。
“我曾在对阵肖恩（执教的球队）时打出过不错的比赛，但他指导防守的方式，对于一个持球人、一个喜欢冲击篮筐的球员来说，确实会制造很大的麻烦，”福克斯说道。

De’Aaron Fox expects to sit out Spurs season opener due to hamstring i
De’Aaron Fox of the San Antonio Spurs poses for the media at San Antonio Spurs Media Day at Victory Capital Performance Center on September 29, 2025 in San Antonio.
Spurs point guard De’Aaron Fox doesn’t think he will be cleared by the team’s medical staff in time to play in the regular season opener Oct. 22 at Dallas after he suffered a right hamstring injury in the offseason.
“I think I’m ready, but I don’t have that expertise,” Fox said at media day Monday.
Fox said he also does not expect to play in the preseason.
“I had never had a hamstring injury, so I didn’t know what I was supposed to feel like,” he said. “But like I said, right now I feel great. But, yeah, I don’t think I’ll be playing opening night. I definitely won’t be playing in the preseason, that’s for sure.”
The Spurs open training camp Tuesday. Their preseason opener is set for Oct. 6 against a team from China at the Frost Bank Center.
“We’re just going to be very mindful and conservative as we always are,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said, referring to Fox’s availability. “He will be out there ready to be practicing tomorrow, but we’ll be big picture. Obviously, long season ahead.”
While the hamstring is an issue, Fox is fully healed from offseason surgery to repair tendon damage in his left pinkie. The injury limited him to just 17 games with the Spurs after they acquired the one-time All-Star from Sacramento in a three-team trade on Feb. 3.
“The hand is no issue,” said Fox, who averaged 19.7 points, 6.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals for the Spurs last season.
The Spurs could also be without rookie Dylan Harper in the preseason after he had surgery in early September to repair a partially torn collateral ligament in his left thumb, although the 19-year-old guard said he “definitely believes” he could play in the preseason.
“I feel good,” the left-handed Harper said. “I think rehab has been going very well."
But Johnson said there is no timetable for Harper’s return. The No. 2 overall pick in the June draft suffered the injury in an offseason workout and has been fitted with a protective plastic splint.
“Everything is heading in the right direction, so we just want it to continue that way,” Johnson said.
Said Harper, “I’d rather have to sit out now than have to sit out during the year where we’ll be playing games, got to win games.”
With Fox and Harper sidelined, Stephon Castle likely will see plenty of time at point guard in the preseason.
“He’s built for it has already shown the chops to do it and had success with it,” Johnson said of the versatility displayed by the 2024-25 NBA Rookie of the Year.
Forward Jeremy Sochan’s preseason status is also uncertain after he sustained a left calf injury in the offseason.
“It’s not too bad. I feel good,” Sochan said.
Said Johnson, “All those guys are just getting better and better every day and improving and want to push it, but obviously we will not, as we have traditionally done here.”
Fox, Spurs pleased with extension
Fox said his confidence is soaring after the Spurs gave him a four-year, $229 million maximum contract extension in the offseason.
The deal secured Fox’s future with the club through the 2029-30 season.
“It’s always great knowing you are in a system that has a belief in you,” he said. “It definitely gives you confidence to go out there and play your hardest and play to your full potential.”
Spurs general manager Brian Wright said he was excited to extend Fox knowing he is “fully committed” to the team’s future.
“He’s been a great player for a long time,” Wright said of the 27-year-old New Orleans native who grew up in Houston. “He’s not a young player who is unknown.”
Wright was non-committal when asked about other players eligible for extensions, including Sochan.
“We’ll see,” Wright said. “You’ve got to walk those things out day by day and we’re trying to build a team now and see how all the pieces fit, so we’ll see how that comes together.”
Johnson praises new assistants
Johnson expressed confidence that recently hired assistant coaches Sean Sweeney and Corliss Williamson will fit in nicely to the Spurs’ way of doings.
“We felt really good about the people that we brought in,” Johnson said. “We feel they are our type of people and about the right stuff.”
The Spurs are counting on the defensive-minded Sweeney to bolster their play on that end of the court.
Sweeney joined the Spurs as associate head coach following four seasons as an assistant coach with Dallas. Before working for the Mavericks, he spent three seasons as an assistant with Detroit from 2018-21 following a four-year stint with Milwaukee in the same role from 2014-18.
Fox said Sweeney’s defensive “philosophies” have always been tough to play against.
“I’ve had good games against Sean, but the way he teaches it definitely makes it tough on a ball handler on a guy who likes to get downhill,” Fox said.
