Though the trade for De'Aaron Fox is thought to take the San Antonio Spurs to another level, the veteran star isn't feeling pressure.

Before the NBA trade deadline, the San Antonio Spurs traded away four first-round picks and bench players for De'Aaron Fox, who is expected to be a long-term solution at the point guard position and is Victor Wembanyama 's first All-Star teammate who is still in his prime.

It has been over two weeks since the Sacramento Kings traded De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs, but the franchise is still feeling the impact that the All-Star point guard had. While many fans are upset about Fox's controversial exit, it is undeniable that he helped uplift the franchise to where it is today.

De’Aaron Fox has been playing with a nagging injury on his dominant hand for virtually the entire season. The San Antonio Spurs knew about his injured left pinky when they dealt for him shortly before the NBA trade deadline.

De'Aaron Fox knows how it looks. Since the beginning of the season, the 27-year-old point guard has applied tape to both his pinky and ring fingers on his left hand after his pinky was dislocated and not healed properly.

Santi Aldama says the Grizzlies will be on high alert should Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox lead the Spurs to the NBA Playoffs.

De'Aaron Fox heading to San Antonio could change everything. With his speed, scoring ability, and leadership, pairing him with Victor Wembanyama might be exactly what the Spurs need to return to dominance.
