德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 用他最典型的方式——砍下高分并命中关键球——庆祝自己从腿筋伤病中回归。
这位速度飞快的后卫在他的赛季首秀中14投9中，砍下24分，并在终场前29.4秒于禁区内命中锁定胜局的一球，帮助马刺在周六晚以126-119击败新奥尔良鹈鹕队。
“福克斯就是福克斯，”马刺队后卫德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 在谈到那记为马刺带来124-119领先的11英尺抛投时说道。“他能回来真是太棒了。我的意思是，他是哪一年的年度关键先生来着？今晚他证明了这一点。看起来他的状态丝毫未减。”
2023年，当福克斯还在萨克拉门托国王队效力时，他荣膺NBA首届杰里·韦斯特年度关键球员奖。去年二月，马刺队通过一笔轰动性的三方交易得到了他，但由于决定接受左手小指肌腱撕裂修复手术，他的赛季于3月12日提前结束。随后，他又在休赛期遭遇右腿筋伤病，这迫使他缺席了季前赛和常规赛的前八场比赛。
但如今，在霜冻银行中心18,611名座无虚席的观众面前，他重返赛场，并渴望摆脱长时间缺阵带来的生疏感。
“完全不是，”当被问及复出是否像骑自行车一样轻松时，福克斯回答道。“显然，我还有些生疏。在上场比赛前我打过五对五的训练，但生疏感是肯定存在的。我从三月份以来就没打过正式比赛，而且整个夏天我都没有打过全场。所以，我第一次真正打全场比赛是在两周前。”
福克斯开局慢热，第一节两次出手均未能命中。这位征战联盟九年的老将在第二节还剩9分39秒时，凭借一记后撤步三分命中了赛季首球，并由此开启了一段惊艳的个人表演——他在2分半钟内5投5中，连得13分。
福克斯用另一记三分球为这波攻势收尾，帮助马刺队将领先优势扩大到50-34。
“我篮球打得不错，所以即使有些生疏，我也能做到这些，”福克斯说。
但他把最精彩的表现留到了最后，用一记抛投锁定了胜局，帮助马刺队取得了7胜2负的战绩。接下来他们将开启单场客场之旅，于周一挑战芝加哥公牛队。
“他充满活力，”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 谈到福克斯时说，后者在31分钟的上场时间里还贡献了3次助攻和3个篮板。“他做到过很多次了。很高兴他能回到场上。希望我们能在此基础上继续进步。”
福克斯在八月份签下了一份为期四年、价值2.29亿美元的顶薪续约合同，将为马刺队效力至2029-30赛季。他表示，在得知腿筋受伤可能需要缺席一段时间后，他经历了一段低谷期。
“我没哭，但我确实崩溃了，心想：‘天哪，我才刚到这儿。很明显，我的手才刚做完手术，结果又发生了这种事，’”福克斯说。“对我来说，当时的感觉就是：‘好吧，你可以坐在这里自怨自艾，不去努力康复，或者你可以消沉一会儿。’但那之后，我一天（的康复训练）都没落下。”

De’Aaron Fox shakes off early rust in season debut to help Spurs win
De’Aaron Fox celebrated his return from a hamstring injury in typical De’Aaron Fox fashion — with plenty of points and a clutch basket.
The speedy guard scored 24 points on 9 of 14 from the field in his season debut, including a game-clinching basket in the lane with 29.4 seconds left, to help the Spurs to a 126-119 win over New Orleans on Saturday night.
“Fox being Fox,” Spurs guard Devin Vassell said of the 11-foot leaner that gave the Spurs a 124-119 lead. “It’s great to have him back. I mean, what year was he the closer of the year? It showed. It looked like he didn’t miss a beat.”
Fox was named winner of the NBA’s inaugural Jerry West Clutch Player of the Year Award in 2023 while starring with the Sacramento Kings. The Spurs acquired him last February in a blockbuster three-team trade, but his season ended March 12 when he decided to undergo surgery to repair a torn tendon in his left pinky finger. He then suffered a right hamstring injury during the offseason that forced him to miss the preseason and the first eight games of the regular season.
But he was back in action in front of a sellout crowd of 18,611 at the Frost Bank Center eager to shake off a considerable amount of rust.
“Absolutely not,” Fox said when asked if his return was just like riding a bike. “Obviously, there was rust. I played five on five before I got out here, but there’s definitely rust. I haven’t played a game since March and then I actually didn’t play full court all summer. So, my first time really playing full court was two weeks ago.”
Fox started slow, missing his first two shots in the first quarter. The ninth-year pro got his first bucket of the season on a step-back 3 with 9:39 left in the second period that sparked a scintillating run in which he scored 13 straight points in a span of 2½ minutes on 5 of 5 shooting.
Fox capped the run with another 3 that gave the Spurs a 50-34 advantage.
“I’m good at basketball so you can still have rust and be able to do that,” Fox said.
But he saved his best for last, scoring the leaner to secure a win that gave the Spurs a 7-2 record heading into a one-game trip to Chicago for a game against the Bulls on Monday.
“He’s dynamic," Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said of Fox, who also had three assists and three rebounds in 31 minutes. “He’s done it plenty of times. It’s good to have him back on the court. Hopefully, we can just continue to build.”
Fox, who signed a four-year, $229 million maximum extension in August that will keep him with the Spurs through the 2029-30 season, said he went through a down period after he suffered the hamstring injury knowing he could be out for a while.
“I didn’t cry, but I definitely broke down like, ‘Wow, I just got here. Obviously, I just had surgery on my hand and then this happens,’” Fox said. “And for me it was like, ‘All right, you can sit here and pout and not go to work, or you can obviously sulk for a little bit.’ But after that I didn’t miss a day (of rehab).”|
