2025年11月20日（周四），在圣安东尼奥弗罗斯特银行中心，圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫德阿隆·福克斯 (4) 在面对亚特兰大老鹰队后卫尼基尔·亚历山大-沃克 (7) 时向队友发出战术信号。
加利福尼亚州圣莫尼卡——马刺队后卫德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 以伤病替补身份入选全明星赛，这让他的队友们感到兴奋，但得知消息后他所面临的折腾行程也让大家开起了善意的玩笑。
“这挺逗的，因为他发了一张照片——当时他距离（休斯敦的）家只有20分钟路程了，结果他不得不掉头往回赶，”马刺队后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 说道。他指的是福克斯在周三晚上于旧金山砍下27分、8次助攻和3次抢断，带领马刺队以126-113逆转击败金州勇士队后，本已从旧金山飞回老家，却在下机后又不得不飞回加利福尼亚。
“不过这很酷，我为他感到高兴，”卡斯尔补充道，“我前几天还对他说，‘希望你最终能以替补身份入选。你本该直接进（替补名单）的。’所以我为他感到开心。”
NBA周四宣布，由于两届常规赛MVP、密尔沃基雄鹿队的扬尼斯·阿德托昆博 (Giannis Antetokounmpo) 因小腿拉伤被迫缺席全明星赛，联盟总裁亚当·萧华选定福克斯作为替代人选。这是福克斯职业生涯九个赛季中第二次入选全明星。
“很有意思，福克斯当时正在回家的路上。我想他距离（休斯敦的）家也就20分钟路程，然后就不得不立刻掉头，”马刺队新秀前锋卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 说道，“我（给他发短信）说，‘我知道你现在肯定很抓狂。’”
“但这真的很棒。他绝对实至名归。他拼尽了全力。他是球队‘蛇头’的关键部分。我的意思是，他是控球后卫，没有一位出色的控卫，什么都成不了，而他今年表现得无可挑剔。我们最近打得非常好，他绝对配得上全明星席位。”
马刺队新秀后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 也拿福克斯的行程窘境开了玩笑。
“我们当时正坐飞机（前往洛杉矶），然后得知了消息，”哈珀说，“我立刻就给他发了短信。”
卡斯尔、布莱恩特和哈珀是在圣莫尼卡一家酒店的媒体活动上接受记者采访的。卡斯尔和哈珀预定参加周五晚上的新秀挑战赛。哈珀还将参加周六的投篮之星大赛，而布莱恩特则计划在同一天参加扣篮大赛。
福克斯将与队友维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 一同亮相全明星赛。本周日，全明星赛将在加利福尼亚州英格尔伍德的直觉穹顶球馆 (Intuit Dome) 举行，并采用“美国队对阵世界队”的轮循制。福克斯将代表由马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 执教的条纹队 (Stripes team) 出战。文班亚马则将代表由多伦多猛龙队教练达科·拉贾科维奇 (Darko Rajaković) 执教的世界队出战。
福克斯的入选是在约翰逊周三赛前媒体发布会上表达不满之后发生的。约翰逊当时抱怨称，尽管马刺队以六连胜进入休赛期，并以38胜16负的战绩位列西部第二，仅次于俄克拉荷马城雷霆队，却只有一名全明星代表。
“我们本赛季能取得这样的成绩，他是其中很大一部分原因，”卡斯尔谈到福克斯时说，“他显然是我们的领袖之一。既然其他球队都有两名全明星，我不明白为什么我们不该有。”
布莱恩特表示，场均贡献19.4分、6.3次助攻和1.3次抢断的福克斯值得一个全明星席位，因为他在“影响比赛的胜负”。
“有很多球员场均数据很高，但他们并不影响胜负，”布莱恩特说，“而当你能影响胜负时，那就意味着一切。大家都有目共睹。如果你坐下来认真看一场比赛，你会看到他在防守端拼尽全力，他能投进球，能做出正确的战术选择，明白自己作为进攻球员所拥有的防守牵引力。”
福克斯还为在六月选秀中被马刺队以榜眼签选中的哈珀提供了指导。
“他在很多方面都给了我帮助，指引我度过新秀赛季，”哈珀说，“他是一位我非常庆幸能拥有的（导师型）老将。”
卡斯尔称赞福克斯“当球在他手上时，给了我们一种稳定感”。
“他能凭空创造机会，”这位2024-25赛季NBA年度最佳新秀得主说道，“进攻时间快到了，只要球在他手里，我们就能得到不错的进攻机会。他整年表现都很出色，而且非常稳定。他是我们排名西部第二的重要原因。”

What Spurs had to say about De’Aaron Fox’s All-Star turnaround
San Antonio Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox (4) signals to his teammates as he leads a play around Atlanta Hawks guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker (7) at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Thursday, Nov. 20, 2025.
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox’s selection to the All-Star Game as an injury replacement thrilled his teammates, but they also had a friendly laugh at the taxing travel situation he faced after getting the news.
“It was funny because he sent a picture — he was like 20 minutes down the road from his house (in Houston), and he had to turn around,” Spurs guard Stephon Castle said, referring to Fox having to fly back to California after flying home from San Francisco, where his 27 points, eight assists and three steals led the Spurs to a 126-113 come-from-behind win over Golden State on Wednesday night.
“It was cool, though. I’m happy for him,” Castle added. “I told him the other day, ‘Hopefully, you end up being a replacement. You should have made it (as a reserve).’ So I’m happy for him.”
The NBA announced Thursday that commissioner Adam Silver made Fox an All-Star for the second time in his nine seasons after a calf strain forced two-time league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo of Milwaukee out of the game.
“It’s funny, Fox was on the way back home. I think he was like 20 minutes out (from his home in Houston) and had to turn right back around,” Spurs rookie forward Carter Bryant said. "I (texted him) and said, ‘I know you’re mad.’
“But it is dope. He definitely deserved it. He works his tail off. He’s part of the head of the snake. I mean, he’s the point guard. Nothing happens without a great point guard and he’s been nothing short of that this year. We’ve been playing really good basketball and he absolutely deserves to be an All-Star.”
Spurs rookie guard Dylan Harper also kidded Fox about his travel predicament.
“We were on a plane (to L.A.) when we found out,” Harper said. “I texted him right away.”
Castle, Bryant and Harper spoke to reporters at a media event at a hotel in Santa Monica. Castle and Harper are set to participate in the Rising Stars mini-tournament Friday night. Harper will also be in the Shooting Stars competition on Saturday, which is when Bryant is scheduled to compete in the dunk contest.
Fox will join teammate Victor Wembanyama in the All-Star Game, which will feature a round-robin “U.S. versus the World” format on Sunday at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif. Fox will play for the Stripes team coached by the Spurs’ Mitch Johnson. Wembanyama will play for the World team coached by Toronto’s Darko Rajaković
Fox’s selection came after Johnson complained at his pre-game media session Wednesday about the Spurs having only one All-Star representative even though they entered the break seeded second in the West behind Oklahoma City with a 38-16 record after winning six in a row.
“The season that we’re having, he’s a big part of that,” Castle said of Fox. '“He’s obviously one of our leaders, so, with other teams that we see have two All-Stars, I don’t see why we shouldn’t.”
Bryant said Fox, who is averaging 19.4 points, 6.3 assists and 1.3 steals, deserves to be an All-Star because he is “impacting winning.”
“There’s a lot of guys that average really high numbers and they don’t impact winning,” Bryant said “And when you can impact winning that means everything. Everybody’s seeing it. If you sit down and really turn on a game and watch it, you see he’s guarding his tail off, he’s making shots, making the right play, understanding his gravity as offensive player.”
Fox has also helped mentor Harper, who the Spurs selected No. 2 overall in the June draft.
“He’s helped me in many ways, just navigating through my rookie year,” Harper said. “He’s a vet that I love having (as a mentor).”
Castle praised Fox for “giving us a sense of stability when he has the ball.”
“He’s able to make a play out of nothing,” the 2024-25 NBA Rookie of the Year said. “Late clock, ball in his hand, we will get something good out of it. He’s been great for us all year and super consistent. He’s a big reason why we’re number two in the West.”
