Major De'Aaron Fox injury update: Participates in shootaround ahead of Game 5

San Antonio Spurs star De'Aaron Fox participated in shootaround ahead of Game 5 against the Timberwolves.

San Antonio Spurs star guard De'Aaron Fox is preparing with the team for Game 5 of the second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves despite dealing with an ankle injury after Ayo Dosunmu landed on it in Game 4.

Fox was spotted at the team's shootaround ahead of tonight's Game 5, although he is still listed as questionable due to right ankle soreness.

This certainly stands as a development to monitor for the Spurs, as Fox has been healthy for most of the 2025-26 season and has not missed a game since March 25.

The star point guard is averaging 16.8 points, 4.0 assists, and 2.5 rebounds in this series against the Wolves, and his potential absence would be huge for the Spurs in Game 5.

If Fox is unable to play, expect more minutes for Stephon Castle spearheading the Spurs' offense as a point guard. Dylan Harper would also be poised to start and draw significant playing time.

The series is currently tied 2-2, with Game 5 scheduled for tonight at 8 p.m. ET in San Antonio.
