The San Antonio Spurs are facing a potential shake-up ahead of a pivotal Game 5. Guard De'Aaron Fox has been listed as questionable for Tuesday night's Western Conference semifinals matchup at Frost Bank Center due to right ankle soreness—a development that could significantly impact the series momentum.
The injury occurred late in the third quarter of Monday's Game 4 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, a defeat that evened the series at 2-2. With just over seven and a half minutes remaining in the period, Timberwolves guard Ayo Dosunmu landed on Fox's right ankle while diving for a loose ball. Fox was seen favoring the ankle immediately after the play but managed to finish the game before reporting discomfort postgame.
Fox has been a driving force for San Antonio throughout the playoffs, and his availability will be a major storyline heading into what is essentially a best-of-three series. The Spurs will likely test his mobility during pregame warmups before making a final call. For fans and fantasy players alike, this is a situation worth monitoring closely—especially if you're planning to sport your Spurs gear for the big game.
