Is De'Aaron Fox playing tonight against Hawks? Latest on star point guard's debut for Spurs (Feb. 5)

De'Aaron Fox is set to make his debut for the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday in an interconference matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Fox recently joined the Spurs as part of a blockbuster three-team trade from the Sacramento Kings. It remains to be seen whether he will immediately enter the starting lineup alongside Victor Wembanyama or be gradually eased into the rotation.

Fox last took the court for the Kings on Saturday against the OKC Thunder, where he played 30 minutes and recorded 20 points, four rebounds, four assists and one steal. He shot 8 of 16 from the field, including 3 of 9 from beyond the arc.

Following the trade, Fox shared a heartfelt message expressing his deep gratitude to the Kings organization and their fans for their support throughout his time in Sacramento.

"I can't quite find the words to express what I want to say, but thank you," Fox wrote on Instagram. "Coming in as a 19-year-old kid and leaving as a 27-year-old man, I'm grateful I got to spend the beginning of my young adulthood here. The love for the city is unmatched.
