De’Aaron Fox posted a strong line on Friday with 22 points (9-of-17 FGs), two rebounds, six assists, four steals and two 3-pointers against the Hornets.
In his debut for the Spurs on Wednesday, they went to Fox, the reigning Clutch Player of the Year, with the game on the line. Though they won that game, he wasn’t the one that hit the big shots. They went back to him in this one, and he hit a shot to tie the game with 42 seconds left and another to give them a lead with eight seconds remaining in the fourth. After Miles Bridges hit a 3-pointer with a second left in the game, Fox drilled another 3-pointer that would’ve won the game, but he got it off after the buzzer. It was still a strong night for Fox, and it’s clear that he’ll continue to be an excellent fantasy option despite the change in scenery.
