De'Aaron Fox Addresses Rockets Rumors, Focuses on Spurs Future San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox recently participated in a youth basketball camp in Cypress, Texas, where he gave an exclusive interview. The interview addressed recent speculation linking him to the Houston Rockets, a team with strong local ties to Fox's upbringing in Katy, Texas. "Everyone speculated that the Rockets would have tried to pursue you," the interviewer noted, referring to Fox's hometown connection. Fox responded directly: "Uh, not at all. I actually never spoke to anybody from the Rockets, especially because like when I was getting drafted, they were one of the best teams in the league." This statement clarifies the situation and dispels rumors of prior contact. Beyond the trade rumors, Fox also discussed his recovery from a season-ending surgery in March to repair pre-existing tendon damage in his left pinky finger. He's since resumed basketball activities, stating, "Surgery went fine, I've been cleared, so I played a little 5 on 5, and I've done contact stuff, so I'll be ready for next year." His positive outlook on his recovery is encouraging for Spurs fans. Looking ahead, Fox anticipates signing a contract extension with the Spurs this summer, expressing his hope to finalize it before the August deadline. His focus on his current team and his positive outlook on the future paint a picture of stability for the San Antonio Spurs.
