This isn’t a sight you wanted to see if you’re a Spurs fan: De’Aaron Fox hobbled to the bench in clear pain during the third quarter of Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The San Antonio All-Star was back in the lineup after missing the first two games of the Western Conference finals as he dealt with right ankle soreness. But he got his right leg rolled on by Lu Dort as the two battled for a loose ball, and Fox was forced to his hands and knees.

He remained in the backcourt with his team on offense until a stoppage after the ball came back the other way, and then went directly to the bench with a considerable limp.
In some good news for the Spurs, Fox did find his way back to the court during the fourth quarter.
Before Game 2, which Fox missed, Spurs coach Mitch Johnson had referred to his early “questionable” designation as being “Pretty (much) status quo moving forward, I believe.”
“Regardless of if he plays the games or not, this will be just kind of the world we live in,” Johnson had said.
This story will be updated.
