2026年6月2日，星期二，在圣安东尼奥霜银中心举行的总决赛（对阵纽约尼克斯）赛前新闻发布会后，喜剧演员吉列尔莫·罗德里格斯 (Guillermo Rodriguez)（左）和圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)（中）与后卫迪兰·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 互动。
随着获得了几天的休息恢复时间，马刺队希望后卫福克斯在周三对阵尼克斯的总决赛揭幕战时，其受伤的脚踝能更接近完全康复。
“我不知道该如何回答他是否恢复到了100%这个问题，但感觉情况正在往好的方向发展，”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 说道，“通过休息，我希望他明天能比今天更好。”
上周六，马刺队在俄克拉荷马城淘汰了雷霆队，夺得西部冠军，这让福克斯在总决赛开始前获得了三天的休息时间。
自从5月10日在对阵明尼苏达森林狼队的西部半决赛第四场中受伤以来，他的脚踝伤势一直反反复复。当时，他在一次倒地争抢地板球时与阿约·多苏穆 (Ayo Dosunmu) 发生碰撞。
福克斯坚持打完了该系列赛的最后两场比赛，但缺席了西部决赛的前两场。尽管福克斯在第三场比赛中复出，但约翰逊指出，伤势“有时会加重”。在复出首战的第三节，福克斯在与卢·多尔特 (Lu Dort) 发生碰撞后一瘸一拐地走下球场。不过，他在第四节初便重新登场，并在系列赛的剩余比赛中一直担任首发。
“他在身体和精神上展现出的坚韧，以及在某种程度上他坚持上场所体现的价值，”约翰逊表示，“我认为我们从这支队伍身上学到了一些东西，这些东西有助于形成我们的打法风格和品牌特色。”
马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊谈到达龙·福克斯及其脚踝伤势：“从他重新穿上球衣并可以出战的那一刻起，他的影响力立竿见影。……我不知道该如何回答他是否恢复到了100%这个问题，但感觉情况正在往好的方向发展。” pic.twitter.com/BLit3vzmN9

在西部决赛中，福克斯的数据并不惊艳，场均得到11.2分和6.2次助攻，投篮命中率仅为36.5%。但约翰逊表示，福克斯在帮助马刺队控制失误方面起到了至关重要的作用——在福克斯缺席的两场比赛中，马刺队分别出现了21次和23次失误，但在他出战的五场比赛中，单场失误从未超过15次。
马刺队新秀后卫哈珀同样是这一转变的功臣，他此前刚刚从内收肌伤势中恢复过来。哈珀将自己能在联盟中站稳脚跟归功于福克斯的帮助。
“他讨厌我这么说，但在某种意义上，他就像我的叔叔，也像我的大哥。有他来引导我真的很好，因为这已经是他的第九个赛季了，而这只是我的第一年，所以他在指导我方面做得棒极了，”哈珀说道，“我觉得他所展现出的特质是每支球队都梦寐以求的，能和他一起打球我感到非常幸运。”

Spurs optimistic on De’Aaron Fox’s recovery entering NBA Finals
Comedian Guillermo Rodriguez, left, and San Antonio Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox, center, interact with guard Dylan Harper after a news conference at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Tuesday, June 2, 2026, prior to the start of the NBA Finals basketball series against the New York Knicks.
With a couple days off to recover, the Spurs hope guard De’Aaron Fox will be closer to full strength on his injured ankle come Wednesday’s tipoff against the Knicks in the NBA Finals.
“I’m not sure how to answer the question on 100%, but it feels like it’s moving in a better direction,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “With rest, I hope he’s better tomorrow than he is today.”
The Spurs closed out the Thunder in the Western Conference finals on Saturday in Oklahoma City, giving Fox three days to rest heading into the Finals.
The ankle has been touch-and-go since he suffered the injury May 10 in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves, when he collided with Ayo Dosunmu on a dive for a loose ball.
Fox fought through the final two games of the series but missed the first two games of the Western Conference finals. Even after Fox returned for Game 3, Johnson noted that the injury has been “reaggravated at times,” with Fox limping off the court during the third quarter of his first game back following a collision with Lu Dort. He returned early in the fourth quarter and started through the rest of the series.
“His mental toughness, physically, mentally, at some stage his values with being out there,” Johnson said. “I think there’s certain things we learn with our group that lend to our style of play and brand.”

Fox was unspectacular statistically in the Western Conference finals, averaging 11.2 points and 6.2 assists per game on 36.5% shooting. But Johnson said Fox was critical in helping San Antonio take care of the ball, as the Spurs committed 21 and 23 turnovers in the two games he missed but had no more than 15 in any of the five games he played.
Spurs rookie guard Dylan Harper, who was also part of that turnaround as he recovered from an adductor injury, credited Fox for helping him find a footing in the league.
“He hates when I say this, but as my uncle in a sense, my big brother, just to have him kind of to help guide me because this is year nine for him, and this is my first year, so he’s done a great job of mentoring me,” Harper said. “I feel like what he brings to the table every team would love to have, and I feel like I’m just lucky to play with him.”
