De'Aaron Fox has recently proven his value to the San Antonio Spurs, especially in the absence of star Victor Wembanyama. Despite signing a max contract and initially facing criticism, Fox has stepped up, with the Spurs going 3-1 without Wembanyama, and Fox scoring at least 25 points in each of those games. Fox emphasizes his role as a supportive sidekick to Wembanyama, acknowledging that great players often need to play alongside other stars to succeed. His performance has been crucial, especially when Wembanyama is in foul trouble or resting, with Fox averaging 26.5 points, 6.5 assists, and shooting 42.3% from three during Wembanyama's absence. The team benefits from Fox's leadership and scoring ability, and his willingness to embrace a supporting role is helping the Spurs develop a cohesive offensive strategy. Fox's experience and attitude are seen as vital in helping Wembanyama and the team reach their full potential, particularly as Fox continues to adapt to his new role as the team's supporting star.
