De'Aaron Fox is set to make his debut for the San Antonio Spurs after being acquired in a trade that reshapes the team's roster. Along with Fox, Jordan McLaughlin will join the Spurs for their upcoming game against the Atlanta Hawks, where they will play alongside the highly touted Victor Wembanyama. Spurs veteran Chris Paul highlighted Fox's competitiveness as a valuable addition to the team.

The trade involved sending Zach LaVine to the Sacramento Kings while the Spurs also let go of Zach Collins, Tre Jones, and Kevin Huerter to the Chicago Bulls. Fox is expected to wear No. 4 in honor of his wife, Recee, a local from San Antonio. With the Spurs sitting just two games shy of the playoff picture, this new lineup aims to ignite a postseason push as they look to bounce back from a two-game losing streak.
