De'Aaron Fox's Future with Spurs Questioned Amid Dylan Harper's Arrival

De'Aaron Fox, currently the starting point guard for the San Antonio Spurs, faces uncertainty regarding his long-term future with the team following the arrival of No. 2 overall draft pick Dylan Harper. A Western Conference scout has suggested to ESPN that if Harper develops a consistent 3-point shot, Fox could become 'expendable' and a valuable trade asset for the Spurs. Fox is entering the final year of his contract and will be a free agent in summer 2026, despite reports that the Spurs were 'hopeful' to sign him to an extension. Should Harper's development accelerate, Fox could emerge as a trade candidate by the February deadline, potentially allowing San Antonio to bolster its roster around Victor Wembanyama.
